Former President Donald Trump on Saturday did his best to convince a raucous crowd of Libertarian voters to support him, but his pitch to back him mostly fell flat.
Former President Donald Trump speaks at a rally, Thursday, May 23, 2024, in the Bronx borough of New York.
Mr. Trump told the crowd that “we should not be fighting each other,” arguing that he was the best bet to beat Mr. Biden in November. He tried to sweeten the deal by promising to install a Libertarian in his cabinet and filling senior positions in the White House with Libertarians. Mr. Trump has called a vote for Mr. Kennedy, who attacked Mr. Trump for his pandemic policies on Friday at the convention, a “wasted protest vote,” and said that he would rather have Mr. Biden as president than the independent candidate.The former president could not resist firing back at the hostile crowd, however, poking fun at the Libertarian party’s consistently low voter turnout numbers during presidential election years and questioning whether they wanted to win the White House.
