How the Libertarian presidential candidate could be a spoiler for Trump
2024 Presidential Election,Donald Trump,Chase Oliver
But one of those options is the Libertarian Party’s candidate for president: Chase Oliver. And he has the potential, along with Green Party candidate Jill Stein, to spoil a state win for either Harris or Trump.
Oliver is just 39 years old, the youngest of the major third-party candidates. He’s from Atlanta and ran there twice as a House candidate in 2020, then a Senate candidate in 2022.
Oliver reached national prominence with his role in his latter run, in which he received 2% of the vote in the Senate race between then-candidates Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker. He debated, without Walker, against Warnock in a face-off hosted by Georgia Public Broadcast in October, gaining him additional exposure.
