US libertarian party says Trump accepted invite to address national convention – United News of India

WorldPosted at: May 1 2024 9:56PM

Washington, May 1 (UNI) The US Libertarian Party said on Wednesday that former US President and presumptive 2024 Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump accepted their invitation to attend the Libertarian National Convention later this month.

On April 25, the Libertarian National Committee sent letters to both Trump and US President Joe Biden, inviting them to address the partys national convention, which is scheduled for May 2326.

On Wednesday, the Libertarian Party said via social media platform X that they received a response from Trump.

Im in, Trump said, as quoted by the party.

Libertarian National Committee Chair Angela McArdle said last month that the party has been trying to get on the debate stage with the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates for decades.

However, the party decided to flip the tables and invite the candidates to its convention, McArdle said.

The Libertarian Partys website describes the organisation as opposed to any government interference in personal, family, and business decisions. The party received approximately 1% of votes in the 2020 US presidential election and 3% in the 2016 race.

Trump to speak at Libertarian National Convention – Just The News

The Libertarian National Party announced Wednesday that former President Donald Trump will speak at the party's national convention in late May.

"The Libertarian National Party, the Party of Principle, announced today that President Donald J. Trump has responded to an invitation, and challenge, from the Libertarian Party to speak at its National Convention, and directly address concerns voiced by its members," the party announced on the social media platform X."President Trump will speak on Saturday, May 25th, in Washington, D.C."

Other speakers attending the convention include Julian Assange's brother andepidemiologist Dr. Peter McCullough.

"Libertarians are some of the most independent and thoughtful thinkers in our Country, and I am honored to join them in Washington, DC, later this month," Trump said in a statement, according to the Libertarian Party's social media post.

Trump also said that he would have many great friends attending the event.

"We all have to remember that our goal is to defeat the Worst President in the History of the United States, BY FAR, Crooked Joe Biden," Trump's went on. "If Libertarians join me and the Republican Party, where we have many Libertarian views, the election wont even be close. We cannot have another four years of death, destruction, and incompetence. WE WILL WORK TOGETHER AND WIN!

Trump's planned appearance at the Libertarian National Convention follows reports earlier this year suggesting that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was exploring a run on their ticket, though such a campaign has not materialized.

Donald Trump Courts Libertarian Voters at National Convention – The Stock Dork

In a strategic move to broaden his electoral base, former President Donald Trump is set to address the Libertarian National Convention in Washington, D.C., later this month.

This appearance aims to attract Libertarian voters and counter the growing appeal of independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. among those disenchanted with mainstream party options.

Trumps outreach to the Libertarians marks a significant tactical shift as he attempts to consolidate a wider range of conservative and libertarian-leaning voters ahead of the next presidential election.

Libertarians are some of the most independent and thoughtful thinkers in our country, Trump stated, expressing his honor to join them and his commitment to advancing freedom and liberty for every American.

This outreach comes amid intensifying attacks from Trumps campaign against Kennedy, who has made inroads with both disaffected Democrats and Republicans.

Kennedys independent run poses a potential threat to Trumps bid by splitting the conservative vote, a scenario Trump is eager to avoid.

Kennedy has previously expressed a positive relationship with the Libertarian Party, which could potentially aid his campaign in securing ballot access across all 50 states.

However, he has stated that he does not plan to run on the Libertarian ticket.

Despite this, Trumps campaign has vigorously targeted Kennedy, highlighting past statements that could alienate conservative voters and painting him as a radical leftist threat.

Trumps campaign strategy includes disseminating content that underscores Kennedys supposed disdain for conservative states and ideologies.

A recent effort involved circulating an old video clip of Kennedy criticizing red states, accompanied by provocative captions on social media platforms.

In his social media posts, Trump has not held back, describing Kennedy as the most Radical Left Candidate in the race, by far, and criticizing his environmental and economic policies as disastrous.

The decision to speak at the Libertarian Convention is seen as an opportunity for Trump to sway libertarian voters.

The Libertarian Party has expressed enthusiasm about Trumps upcoming speech, viewing it as a historic moment to engage with a former president on key libertarian issues.

Angela McArdle, Chair of the Libertarian Party, highlighted the significance of this engagement, stating, For 50 years, weve been trying to get our candidates on the main stage with major party POTUS candidates, and weve finally succeeded in bringing one to our stage.

The party plans to present Trump with a list of their top ten issues, aiming to influence his policy positions should he return to the presidency.

As the political landscape heats up with the approaching election, Trumps address at the Libertarian National Convention is poised to be a crucial moment in his campaign, potentially reshaping alliances and voter dynamics in his favor.

The event underscores the complex interplay of strategies as candidates vie for support across the spectrum, from the core bases of the major parties to the more independent and ideologically diverse Libertarian voters.

Is this the year that no one watches political spots? – Roll Call

Little more than a decade ago, campaign finance reform was one of the hottest issues animating Democrats. Now it seems as irrelevant as a national drive to make Esperanto Americas second language.

Barack Obama, in his 2010 State of the Union address, predicted that the Supreme Courts Citizens United decision will open the floodgates for special interests. The TV cameras caught Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. angrily shaking his head as he mouthed, Not true.

Obama was, of course, right.

Super PACs, created in the wake of Citizens United, are fast dominating politics. The arithmetic is irresistible: Candidates can urge the super wealthy to donate $3,300 (the legal maximum) to their general election campaigns or they can encourage them to make a seven-figure donation to a friendly super PAC.

As late as 2016, Hillary Clinton gave lip service to the cause in her convention acceptance speech: We need to appoint Supreme Court justices who will get money out of politics and well pass a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

But that was about the time when the Democrats discovered they could more than match the Republicans in super PAC largesse. And suddenly the issue faded like an Obama bumper sticker.

For a while, Democrats were apologetic as they explained that they couldnt practice unilateral disarmament in the battle against the Republicans. Then, faced with the never-ending threat from Donald Trump, Democrats unapologetically adopted the GOPs philosophy that anything goes in politics.

Roughly $8 billion was spent in 2020 on campaigns for federal office. And, with another bitterly fought presidential race and close battles for Congress, that number is likely to rise this year as fast as college tuition.

Early this month, Politico estimated that super PAC spending on federal races had more than doubled compared with the numbers from a similar period in 2020.

As super PACs play a larger role in politics, congressional candidates in both parties are fast losing control of their own campaigns. While the rules barring coordination between a super PAC and a candidate are increasingly porous, there can be sharp differences over what is the best political message.

An illustrative example is the collapse of Never Back Down, the super PAC that spent a jaw-dropping $158 million in 2023 supposedly boosting Ron DeSantis presidential campaign. Instead of powering the Florida governor to victory, the super PAC imploded with staff resignations and acrimony with the official DeSantis campaign before the Iowa caucuses.

Part of the problem is that there is so much money sloshing around politics in 2024 that greed becomes entwined with electoral strategies. All it takes is one smooth-talking political consultant and one gullible billionaire and, voil, you have a new super PAC.

The result is that many TV ads from super PACs and cause groups are designed to appeal to one key constituency: politically naive donors. The spots may be off message for the candidate they are promoting, but they attract money to fund new ads and, of course, lucrative fees for the consultant.

This may also be the year when the TV ad (a staple of politics since I Like Ike cartoons in 1952) may finally lose its luster.

Three trends are colliding: The 2024 presidential race promises to be the most expensive in history. The campaign is expected to pivot around just six or seven swing states (Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia and maybe North Carolina). And, thirdly, because of cord-cutting, 50 percent of households barely see any TV ads at all.

Pity the more than 30 million voters in those seven battleground states. Not only will they be thumped with nonstop political commercials, but their phones will also constantly beep with text messages from candidates. And these swing-state voters will only venture onto social media at their own peril.

Probably, at this very moment, both presidential campaigns are working on ways that a hologram of President Joe Biden or Trump can greet swing voters at their breakfast table each morning.

Amid the torrent of ads in every place except inside bottles of laundry detergent, congressional candidates will face a daunting challenge on how to break through the clutter.

Four Senate races and 14 up-for-grabs House seats are in those seven swing states. Throw in two other hotly contested House races in Nebraska and Maine, where electoral votes are awarded by congressional district.

When voters are savvy enough to recognize a negative TV spot as soon as they glimpse the first grainy photograph or hear the initial words of voice-of-doom narration, how can a House candidate, without an unlimited budget, ever communicate? And even Senate candidates will play second fiddle to the high-intensity presidential race.

Maybe the result in these swing states will be even more party-line voting than ever before. When the congressional and Senate races become a blur, regardless of the merits of individual candidates, it will be hard to motivate voters to split their tickets.

Obviously, there is no current constituency in Congress pressing to write legislation to regulate the cacophony of political ads. But at some point, maybe, legislators in both parties will come to the conclusion that the only people benefiting from the current system are (surprise) political consultants.

Granted, it is hard to shake the inbred belief in politics that a few million dollars more or one killer TV ad will make all the difference. But the sad truth is that in this politically saturated year, almost nobody is listening.
