I guess ex-President Trump did NOT impress them with his appearance?
Chase Oliver in Wiki…..
The Libertarian Party nominated Chase Oliver as its 2024 presidential candidate after a protracted nomination vote on Sunday, solidifying the ticket for a voter base that could play spoiler this November.
Oliver, who was a critical spoiler candidate in the 2022 Georgia Senate race that led to the election of Sen. Rafael Warnock (D) by forcing a runoff, aligns himself with the traditional wing of the Libertarian Party.
After over eight hours of voting, he narrowly defeated the hard-line Mises Caucus candidate by less than a single percent. In a final round where he only faced ‘none of the above,’ he was finally able to secure a majority of delegates and be named the nominee.
Oliver garnered about 60 percent of the vote in that final round, while the ‘none of the above’ line — a protest vote backed by Mises Caucus diehards — received about 36 percent of the delegate votes. A ‘none’ victory would have seen state Libertarian parties nominate their own candidates.
The busy Libertarian convention in Washington also saw visits from two other presidential candidates, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and former President Trump, this weekend. Both vied for the party’s nomination, but neither gained any significant support and were booed during their speeches to the group.
Kennedy’s candidacy as an independent could significantly hurt the Libertarians, some members have theorized, as he could force the Libertarian vote share to such a small amount in some states that the party could lose ballot access and fundraising tools. ….
