Kamala Harris cannot win the presidential election because she has lost the crucial support of Muslim and Arab Americans in key battleground states, Jill Stein has said.
The Green Party leader has placed Israel’s wars with Hamas and Hezbollah front and center of her campaign—with potentially devastating effect for the Democrats.
There’s been a spike in support for her among the Muslim and Arab American communities that polling shows could deny Harris victory in several swing states—and present a path to the White House for Donald Trump. The Greens are seeing particularly strong support in Michigan and Wisconsin—two key swing states that look likely to go to the wire.
“The Democrats cannot win without the support of the Muslim American community. And that community has left the station and is not coming back unless the Democrats decide that it’s more important to them to win the election than it is to conduct the genocide,” Stein said in an interview with Newsweek.
“So they have to do a 180 on the genocide and they don’t appear willing to do that. They could win those votes back, but it doesn’t look like that’s on the cards. So it looks like they are sacrificing several swing states.” Israel denies it is conducting genocide.
She said the U.S. must “rein Israel in” before there is a possible ground invasion of Lebanon and all-out war in the Middle East. Stein’s interview with Newsweek took place two days before an Israeli airstrike on Beirut killed Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader.
Stein, 74, says her campaign is experiencing a “breakout moment” and that attacks and “gaslighting” from key Democrat figures have only served to open up new audiences to her stance on the “defining issue” of Israel’s wars with Hamas and Hezbollah.
“(There’s a) rumble taking place as our campaign is coming out of the woodwork,” she said.
