Jill Stein, the Green Party’s 2016 presidential nominee, is open to another run for the White House in 2020.
Stein was asked if she would consider vying for the Green Party’s nomination again in 2020. While she didn’t outright say yes, the 66-year-old did leave herself open to the idea, in an interview with the Press-Enterprise published Wednesday.
“I am certainly going to be fighting to the fullest of my ability. And whether that is running for president, running for some other office, or helping other people run, I describe myself as a mother on fire,” Stein said.
“We don’t forget that we have a world that’s going down in flames and that we have a generation locked into debt that can’t get out of it and a climate that’s going down the tubes rather rapidly,” she added. “So my every waking moment is spent trying to create a world that will work for all of us, because it’s slipping through our fingers rather quickly.”
Stein received about 1 percent of the national vote on Nov. 8. This was her second run for president as the Green Party’s nominee; her first time was in 2012.
Stein made waves after the election, raising over $7 million to fund recount efforts in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin — more than she raised during her campaign — that resulted in only one successful electoral review in Wisconsin. It added 162 votes to President Trump’s lead.
