Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) went on the offensive against swing-state voters considering the Green Party presidential nominee, Dr. Jill Stein, calling a vote for her a “waste” when “democracy” was on the line.
In an interview with ABC News “This Week” that aired Sunday, Shapiro said he supported the Democratic National Committee ‘s billboards in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin that paint Stein as a spoiler in the race, meaning that she could cost Vice President Kamala Harris the voters she needs to defeat former President Donald Trump .
“I think if you vote for Jill Stein, you’re not only throwing away your vote, you’re ignoring your responsibility to protect our democracy here in this country,” said Shapiro. “Jill Stein ain’t winning this election, period.”
In a joint interview with Shapiro, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI), and Gov. Tony Evers (D-WI), This Week host Martha Raddatz pressed the Blue Wall governors on why Harris’s messaging on the economy and immigration wasn’t resonating with voters.
