Green Party candidate Jill Stein’s plan to steal young voters from Hillary

CNN hosted a Green Party town hall last night, giving presidential nominee Jill Stein and her running mate Ajamu Baraka an unprecedented opportunity to reach American voters who are unhappy with the choice between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

“I will have trouble sleeping at night if Donald Trump is elected,” Stein said. “I will also have trouble sleeping at night if Hillary Clinton is elected. And as despicable as Donald Trump’s words are, I find Hillary Clinton’s actions and track record is very troubling.”

Stein has been polling at around 5 percent, however a new Economist/YouGov poll showed support for Stein has grown in recent weeks, with 23 percent of voters now saying they “might consider voting for” her.

Throughout the event, the Green Party ticket focused on appealing to millennials, specifically young Sanders supporters, thanking them for the hard work they put into his campaign.

“Bernie did everything right, and his supporters did everything right,” Stein said. “Bernie himself said it’s a movement; it’s not a man.”
