President Donald Trump on Wednesday encouraged Michigan Rep. Justin Amash’s prospective third-party White House bid, which critics fear could amount to an electoral spoiler for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden
Tuesday he was forming an exploratory committee for president as a Libertarian Party candidate.
If Amash decides to run, it remains unclear whether his candidacy would more negatively affect Biden’s or Trump’s bid — although the president’s publictoward Amash and stranglehold on the GOP make it unlikely the conservative lawmaker could gain significant inroads with the Republican base. But Amash insisted Wednesday that “it’s impossible” to handicap his impact on the race, and argued that “we don’t know who people will vote for” come November.
“The idea that we’re going to tell people, ‘Hey, we can’t have another choice on the ballot because it might upset one or the other candidate,’ that’s pretty ridiculous,” he MSNBC. “And I will hear from lots of Trump supporters, as well, who say, ‘Oh, you’re helping Joe Biden.’ So it really cuts both ways.”
