Vice President Kamala Harris appears to fear that Jill Stein could spoil her chances of winning ten electoral votes in Wisconsin.
Stein, who is the Green Party’s nominee for president, received more votes in the three “blue wall” states than the margin by which two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton lost in 2016. In Wisconsin, for example, Stein won 31,072 votes, while Clinton lost by a 22,748-vote margin.
Harris is determined to not lose Wisconsin like Clinton did and has begun running ads in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, attacking Stein by linking her to KKK leader David Duke and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Harris is flush with cash and can likely afford to attack Stein.
Harris appears to be essentially tied in Wisconsin with former President Donald Trump, with Stein receiving about one percent of the vote, a recent Marquette poll found. Stein’s one percent could be enough to spoil Harris’s chances of winning the Badger State’s ten Electoral College votes.
