After eight hours of voting, Chase Oliver won the Libertarian Party nomination.
RFK Jr. ended up receiving just 2% of the vote.
He could be a candidate that sweeps votes in the November election.
Trump did not file for the nomination.
The Libertarian Party on Sunday named Chase Oliver its 2024 presidential candidate after a drawn-out nomination vote, solidifying its hold on a potentially disruptive base of voters in November’s election.
Oliver was a key disruptive candidate in the 2022 Georgia Senate elections, forcing a runoff election and helping Senator Raphael Warnock (Democrat) win the election, and is a member of the traditional wing of the Libertarian Party.
After more than eight hours of voting, he beat the hardline Mises Caucus candidate by less than one percentage point, and in the final round he faced a “none of these” candidate, but ultimately secured a majority of the delegates to be nominated.
Oliver won about 60 percent of the final vote, but the protest vote “none of these” supported by staunch Mises supporters won about 36 percent of the delegate vote. If “none of these” had won, each state’s Libertarian party would have nominated its own candidate.
Donald Trump has revealed why he did not file for the nomination.
“The reason I did not file the Libertarian Party nomination papers is because, as the Republican nominee, I am not allowed to accept the nomination of another party, although I absolutely would have been the nominee if I had wanted to (as you could see by the enthusiasm of the crowd last night),” Trump said.
The reason I did not file the Libertarian Party nomination papers is because, although I absolutely would have been the nominee if I had wanted to (you could see the enthusiasm of the crowd last night!), as the Republican nominee I have no right to the nomination of another party. In any case, I believe I can get a majority of the Libertarian Party votes. Kennedy Jr. is a Radical Left Democrat who has destroyed everything he has worked for, especially in New York and New England, especially where energy costs and practicality are concerned. He is not a Libertarian. Only a fool would vote for him!
