Trump draws mixed reactions as he urges Libertarians ‘combine with us’

Former President Trump drew mixed reactions from a rowdy crowd as he worked to appeal to the Libertarian National Convention, urging the party to “combine with us” to beat President Biden in November. 

“The fact is we should not be fighting each other. If Joe Biden gets back in, there will be no more liberty for anyone in our country. Combine with us in a partnership, we’re asking that of the libertarians. We must work together. Combine with us. You have to combine with us,” Trump told an audience at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night. 

The remarks drew a mix of boos and cheers from a crowd of both Libertarians and pro-Trump attendees.  

The former president said his appearance at the convention was to “extend a hand of friendship” to the party, which he argued “can make a big difference.”
