Abandon Harris campaign endorses Jill Stein

The “Abandon Harris” group pushing for voters to protest Vice President Harris over the conflict in Gaza is endorsing the Green Party’s Jill Stein in the presidential race.

The group, formerly known as “Abandon Biden,” is calling on Muslim Americans and others frustrated with the Biden administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war to cast their ballots for the long-shot third-party bid.

“Our movement remains dedicated to ensuring that the American people, especially the Muslim-American community, recognize the responsibility we share in standing up against oppression and using all our power to stop genocide — wherever it may arise. On the precipice of the election, we endorse Jill Stein,” the group said in a release.

Stein, who also ran for the White House in 2012 and 2016, has little chance of being truly competitive this fall. She’s not on the ballot or lodging a write-in campaign in a dozen states, according to a tracker from her campaign, and a recent New York Times/Siena College survey of a handful of key battlegrounds had her polling at just 1 percent.

But her candidacy could act as a potential spoiler to Harris’s fast-tracked bid amid a tight race between the vice president and former President Trump, drawing votes in vital swing states where the two major party candidates are separated by a hair.

Democrats have long been frustrated by the Green Party, and Stein was seen as something of a spoiler to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign against Trump.
