After a lengthy eight-hour voting process at their weekend convention, the Libertarian Party has selected former Georgia Senate candidate Chase Oliver as their 2024 presidential nominee.

Oliver, 38, successfully secured the nomination despite external efforts to influence the endorsement.

He now joins other third-party candidates such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Jill Stein, and Cornel West in the 2024 race.

Oliver celebrated his victory on social media, marking a milestone as the first millennial to secure a significant third-party presidential nomination.

The convention, held at the Washington Hilton, saw former President Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. attempting to gain Libertarian support, the New York Post has reported.

Trump’s efforts included promises to pardon Ross Ulbricht and appoint a Libertarian to his cabinet, but these overtures were met with boos and ultimately failed to sway the delegates.

The Libertarian Party garnered its highest presidential vote share in 2016 with 3.3%. Oliver aims to achieve over 2% of the national vote in 2024.
