Chase Oliver Secures Libertarian Presidential Nomination

Chase Oliver, a candidate in the 2022 Georgia Senate election, has been nominated as the Libertarian Party's presidential candidate after a contentious voting process. Oliver, supported by the Classic Liberal Caucus, won with 60% of the vote against "none of the above" after seven rounds of voting. His victory speech emphasized unifying the party and offering an alternative to the major party candidates. The nomination process also saw participation from independent candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and a write-in for Trump, both of whom were eliminated early.

Trump Faces Boos, Claims He'd Win Libertarian Nomination

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was eliminated in the first round of the Libertarian Party’s presidential nomination vote, receiving only 2 percent of the vote. Despite addressing the convention and criticizing former President Trump, Kennedy did not secure significant support. Trump also fared poorly, garnering only two write-in votes. Kennedy remains a notable figure among centrists and could potentially act as a spoiler in the upcoming election.

"Challenges Mount for Biden's Ballot Placement in Multiple States"

Ohio GOP leaders rejected a plan from Democrats to get President Joe Biden on the November ballot after the party scheduled its convention past a state election deadline. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose warned that Biden is at risk of not making the ballot due to the state's 90-day certification requirement before the election. Democrats proposed provisional certification, but the Attorney General's office stated that this won't work and the law mandates actual certification by August 7. Democrats are left with the options of seeking legislative exemption or suing, as Ohio isn't the only state facing this issue.

"States Warn of GOP Efforts to Keep Biden Off Ballot"

Republican secretaries of state in Ohio and Alabama have warned that President Biden might not appear on their ballots in November due to the timing of his expected nomination at the Democratic National Convention. Democrats accuse GOP officials of partisan gamesmanship and note that exceptions have been made for Republicans in the past. The Biden campaign is exploring provisional certification and legislative remedies, while also expressing confidence that Biden will appear on the ballot in both states. The lack of a presidential nominee could have damaging implications for Democratic turnout farther down the ballot, especially in Ohio, which is home to a closely watched Senate race.

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have secured enough delegates to become their parties’ presumptive nominees for president, setting up a rematch in November.
