Democrats launch war room to counter Jill Stein's Green Party campaign
The Democratic Party has created a war room to track and discredit third-party candidates, including Jill Stein, who previously affected the 2016 election. This operation has over 30 staffers and a budget in the low seven figures. Democrats are focusing on Stein, who is running again as a Green Party candidate. They aim to prevent her from drawing votes away from their candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, by portraying her as a supporter of Trump. The party has launched ads and billboards in key states, warning voters that a vote for Stein is a vote for Trump. They believe this strategy could reshape how they handle third-party candidates in future elections.
