Trump narrowly beats Stormy Daniels and Denali the Cat in race for Libertarian nomination

Former President Donald Trump faced a hostile reception at the Libertarian Party convention over the weekend, where he was booed during his address. However, the drama did not end there as attendees were called upon to elect their party’s presidential nominee on Sunday.

Despite the rocky start, Trump managed to secure six write-in votes, narrowly beating out former porn star Stormy Daniels and Denali the Cat, with whom he allegedly had an affair. The former president made a plea to Libertarians, emphasizing the importance of their support in the upcoming election.

In a bid to win over the crowd, Trump made promises aligned with the GOP platform, including a pledge to commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road website. However, his efforts fell short as he only received less than one percent of the vote.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also vied for the nomination but garnered only 19 votes, showing a lack of enthusiasm for both candidates among the Libertarian attendees.

Despite the lukewarm reception and minimal support, Trump remained defiant, spinning the boos he received as a sign of enthusiasm from the crowd. He took to his Truth Social platform to express his disappointment at not being able to secure the Libertarian nomination due to party rules.

In the end, Trump’s performance at the convention highlighted the challenges he may face in garnering support from outside his traditional base as he navigates the complex landscape of third-party politics.
