Libertarian Party chooses Chase Oliver as presidential nominee

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.
