Story highlights Dr. Jill Stein is the likely Green Party 2016 presidential nominee

She told CNN's "New Day" on Wednesday that the current political system is rigged

(CNN) Likely Green Party presidential nominee Dr. Jill Stein said Wednesday voters "badly" want a change, urging them to support her in November if they wanted to fix America's broken political system and rigged economy.

"I'm a physician, not a politician," Stein told CNN's Alisyn Camerota on "New Day." "We have a very broken system under the two political parties that have been throwing us under the bus. I think we badly need a change. I think (the voters) understand if we are going to fix the rigged economy we need to fix our broken political system. ... It's the mother of all illnesses."

Stein, 66, said her campaign strategy would not rely on "peeling off" voters who would have traditionally supported presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, but to attract voters in her own right as an independent, third-party candidate.

"The majority of Hillary Clinton supporters don't support her -- they actually oppose Donald Trump," Stein, who also ran as the Green Party's presidential nominee in 2012, said. "At the same time, about 60% of voters are clamoring for another voice and another choice... who is actually an honest broker."
