Amash ‘confident’ in winning a White House bid
U.S. Rep. Justin Amash, a Trump critic from west Michigan, is weighing a third-party bid for the White House that he said he’s “confident” he could win.
“There’s an urgency. There is a need right now, more than ever, for someone with common sense to stand up to these two parties and to present a strong alternative,” Amash said in an interview.
The Republican-turned-independent congressman announced late Tuesday he has formed an exploratory committee to seek the Libertarian Party’s nomination for president.
He joined the Libertarian Party 10 days ago on his 40th birthday, and now Amash is eyeing the Libertarians’ nominating convention a month away in Austin.
