As the United States enters a hotly contested presidential race between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris, three prominent independent and third-party candidates are fighting for the presidency in key battleground states.
In what observers describe as a toss-up contest, Jill Stein, Cornel West, and Chase Oliver—representing the Green Party, independent progressives, and Libertarians, respectively—could be crucial.
Jill Stein, a left-wing activist, raises concerns among Democrats.
Reentering the campaign is 74-year-old environmentalist and former Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who ran in 2012 and 2016. Even though Stein’s previous campaigns received a small percentage of the vote, she will be on ballots in around 40 states this year, which presents a challenge for Democrats.
