Chase Oliver’s proposed running mate has a strong anti-CBDC platform, but the 38-year-old Libertarian Party nominee seems to have been largely silent on crypto.
The Libertarian Party in the United States chose a different nominee for president after Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. each gave speeches at the party’s convention over Memorial Day Weekend.
On May 26, delegates from the Libertarian Party nominated Chase Oliver for U.S. president, giving a face to the third-largest political party in the country ahead of the November 2024 elections. The 38-year-old comes into the presidential race with the overwhelming majority of U.S. citizens poised to vote for either President Joe Biden or Donald Trump, the presumptive nominees for their respective Democratic and Republican parties.
Oliver’s nomination happened after Trump addressed the Libertarian Party convention on May 25. Reports suggested many had booed the former president or shouted he was a “liar” and “panderer” for pretending to embody the party’s values. RFK Jr. also spoke at the convention on May 24 but was eliminated from consideration as a nominee after receiving just 2% of the vote.
