Rep. Amash Looking ‘Closely’ at Challenging Trump as an Independent | National Review

Congressman Justin Amash (I., Mich.), who left the Republican party last year after breaking caucus ranks by calling for President Trump’s impeachment, said Monday that he is considering a White House run as an independent.

“Americans who believe in limited government deserve another option,” the libertarian-leaning congressman tweeted, following comments from Trump about presidential authority during the coronavirus press conference. In a reply to a supporter, he then added, “Thanks. I’m looking at it closely this week.”
  The Libertarian Party is planning to nominate a candidate for president on May 25 at its convention in Austin, but has struggled to attract a well-known candidate. Former Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee, who joined the party last year, abandoned a bid for the nomination earlier this month.
