Summary
The Republican-connected Badger Values PAC is actively spending to promote Green Party candidate Jill Stein in Wisconsin, viewing her as a potential spoiler in the tight race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. This strategy reflects concerns that third-party candidates could significantly influence the election outcomes in key battleground states, particularly in Wisconsin, where recent elections have been decided by narrow margins.
The PAC’s spending includes mailers that attack Harris while highlighting Stein’s environmental policies, framing her as a viable alternative for voters dissatisfied with the major party candidates. As Wisconsin has been a crucial state for both parties, with a history of close election results, the involvement of GOP-affiliated groups in supporting a third-party candidate underscores the strategic calculations being made ahead of the election. With Stein, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Cornel West on the ballot, the dynamics of the race could shift, potentially drawing votes away from Harris and impacting the overall electoral landscape.
