Trump courts Libertarians to draw party activists away from RFK Jr.: 'If we unite, we are unstoppable'
SUMMARY
Donald Trump addressed the Libertarian National Convention on Saturday to win over activists skeptical of the GOP frontrunner and to divert support from independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The convention, held in Washington, D.C., saw Trump appealing to Libertarians by promising limited government and commutation for Ross Ulbricht, founder of the Silk Road marketplace. Despite facing a mixed crowd, Trump aimed to unify Libertarians and Republicans, arguing that joining forces would ensure victory. The event marked a significant engagement, as it was the first time a major candidate accepted the Libertarian Party's invitation.
