The 2024 Green Party presidential primaries and caucuses is a series of electoral contests to elect delegates to the 2024 Green National Convention who will choose the Green Party's presidential nominee in the 2024 presidential election. The 2024 Green National Convention is a virtual event scheduled to take place from July 11 to 14, 2024. [2]

Background

Party

The Green Party of the United States began as a political movement in the 1980s revolving around environmentalism. The party promotes green politics, specifically environmentalism; grassroots democracy, anti-war, and anti-racism and is generally seen as left-wing. Members of the party generally support policies such as Medicare for All, tuition-free college, the Green New Deal, reparations for slavery, and LGBTQ+ rights. As of 2024, the Green Party held 136 minor elected offices.[3]

Presidential history

The Green Party has run candidates for president in every election since 1996. Consumer advocate Ralph Nader was the party's nominee in 1996 and 2000. Political activist David Cobb was nominated in 2004, congresswoman Cynthia McKinney was the nominee in 2008, activist Jill Stein was nominated in 2012 and 2016, and perennial candidate Howie Hawkins ran for president in 2020. Nader's 2.7% in 2000 remains the largest percentage of the vote any Green Party candidate has ever won, and no third party presidential candidate has carried any state in the Electoral College since 1968.[4]

Major candidates

As of February 2024, at least 12 candidates have filed with the Federal Election Commission to run for the Green Party nomination in 2024.[5]
