(CNN) — Two-time Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein announced Thursday she plans to seek the party’s nomination for the White House in 2024.“The political system is broken. The two Wall Street parties are bought and paid for,” Stein said in a video posted on social media announcing her candidacy.“The Democrats have betrayed their promises for working people, youth and the climate again and again, while Republicans don’t even make such promises in the first place,” she said.Stein was the Green Party nominee for president in 2012 and 2016.

A recent CNN poll showed former President Donald Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 GOP nomination, na...
