Green Party presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein is considering three potential vice presidential picks, the campaign told Al Jazeera over the weekend. She is expected to announce her choice during a livestream this upcoming Thursday.
The Stein campaign confirmed to Al Jazeera that its vice presidential shortlist includes Abed Ayoub, Amer Zahr, and Jacqueline Luqman. Ayoub is the Executive Director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, Zahr is a Palestinian American activist and adjunct professor at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law, and Luqman is a D.C.-based activist and host of the Real News Network.
All three are described as vocal critics of Israel and “the US’s unflinching support for the war on Gaza.” Additionally, they each confirmed that the Stein campaign approached them about considering the vice presidential slot on the ticket. The campaign will reportedly announce its choice from the current shortlist in a rally later this week.
The Stein campaign previously considered Abdullah Hammoud, Mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, for the vice presidential role in June. However, Hammoud was too young to be constitutionally eligible to serve in the position in the event the ticket won.
Green Party is slightly to the right of Harris/Waltz?
Pick the Palestinian please!!!!! That may get some to vote for the ticket instead of Harris-Walz. We need all the help we can get.
Whoever Stein picks as a running mate for her useless campaign, it will have to be somebody Putin approves of.
Somehow, I don't see a Green win. They could just save themselves some time and just leave the VP slot blank. But I guess an Arabic name might help them peel off some of the "progressive" vote.
I bet she doesn’t have the “poverty of content” with language like Kamala.
