GOP Rep Floats Third Party 2020 White House Bid

The Hill reports:

Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) said Sunday that he’s not ruling out seeking the Libertarian nomination for the presidency in 2020. Amash said during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he believes the United States needs a president who is “presenting a vision for America that is different from what these two parties are presenting.”

Amash is a frequent critic of Trump and has sometimes bucked the president. He was one of 13 House Republicans who voted last month in support of a measure to block Trump’s declaration of a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border. Amash has said he believes the declaration is unconstitutional.
