Chase Oliver won the Libertarian Party nomination – after 8 hours of voting.
RFK Jr ended up with only 2% of the vote.
He could be a spoiler candidate in November.
Trump didn’t file for the nomination.
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.
Donald Trump revealed why he didn’t file for the nomination.
Trump said, “The reason I didn’t file paperwork for the Libertarian Nomination, which I would have absolutely gotten if I wanted it (as everyone could tell by the enthusiasm of the Crowd last night!), was the fact that, as the Republican Nominee, I am not allowed to have the Nomination of another Party.”

Regardless, I believe I will get a Majority of the Libertarian Votes. Junior’ Kennedy is a Radical Left Democrat, who’s destroyed everything he’s touched, especially in New York and New England, and in particular, as it relates to the Cost and Practicality of Energy. He’s not a Libertarian. Only a FOOL would vote for him!
