The European Green Party on Friday called for Jill Stein, the 2024 presidential candidate of the U.S. Green Party, to withdraw from the race...writing that the election is “too close for comfort.”

“On 5 November 2024, the world will be watching to see whether Americans choose Kamala Harris or Donald Trump to be their next president,” the European party, also known as the European Greens, wrote. “Ahead of these pivotal elections, European Greens have called upon US Green Party candidate Jill Stein to withdraw her Presidential candidacy, and endorse Kamala Harris.”

Harris is the only candidate who can block former President Donald Trump and his “anti-democratic,” authoritarian policies from the White House, according to the European Greens. The party pointed to his relationships with Russian, Hungarian and Brazilian leaders.

“Like other ultra-conservative politicians across the globe with whom he has close relationships, such as Vladimir Putin, Viktor Orbán, and Jair Bolsonaro, he would undermine democracy,” the release reads.

The European Greens said “democratic institutions” are necessary for climate policies, one of the party’s main concerns. A "climate crisis,” along with conflicts in the Middle East, require Harris to serve as president, according to the party...

A poll conducted last week by The New York Times and the Siena College Research Institute found that 2% of voters said they would cast a ballot for Stein.

The European Greens' support for Harris follows the British Labour Party sharing plans to send current and former staffers to U.S. swing states to campaign for the vice president. The Trump campaign later filed a Federal Election Commission complaint accusing the Harris team of violating federal law by welcoming the members.

A spokesperson for the Stein campaign indicated to The National News Desk (TNND) on Friday the team has no plans to end its efforts.
