Amash is one of over 20 candidates who is seeking the Libertarian nomination for President. He does have the biggest name among the group. With his announcement, Rep. Amash seeks to join the likes of many previous Libertarian candidates that have run for President and lost.
Third party candidates have not had much success in recent US history. A third party candidate has not won more than 5% of the popular vote since Ross Perot in the 90’s.
