2020
Presidency
The Libertarian Party selected Jo Jorgensen as its presidential nominee on May 23, 2020, during the Libertarian National Convention.[2] Spike Cohen was selected as the party's vice presidential nominee the next day.[3]
The convention was originally scheduled to take place May 21-25, 2020, in Austin, Texas.[4] Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the nomination portion of the national convention was held online May 22-24.[5][6]
Prior to the national convention, delegates were selected by state Libertarian affiliates. These delegates choose a party nominee at the convention by majority vote.[7]
Gary Johnson, the 2012 and 2016 Libertarian presidential nominee, said in 2017 that he would not launch a third presidential bid.[8] His running mate, Bill Weld, announced on April 15, 2019, that he was running in the Republican primary for president.
