Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has offered to debate Donald Trump at the Libertarian Party convention later this month.

Both Kennedy and Trump are scheduled to speak at the convention this month after the Libertarian Party invited all presidential candidates to their convention to discuss issues around freedom and limited government. Joe Biden declined their invitation.

In a post on the X platform, Kennedy began his pitch by citing polling data between the two candidates and baiting Trump with accusations that he had failed on various issues such as COVID.

Interesting. A debate would be cool.
Like DMV said, "Biden's handlers would NEVER put him into the room with Libertarians. EVER!" The Libertarians would laugh him out of the convention.

A debate isn't happening. Hell, RFK Jr. stood up the Libertarian Party! Besides, other than his attackdog stance on Big Pharma he's a loon*. Campaigned for Clinton, Obama, Hillary and Biden. Tell me you're NOT a Democrat while helping get them elected...again, and again and again....his wasted shot was being VP on Trump's ticket. That would've showed America how serious Trump was about reaching across the aisle. I still like Tim Scott, but Tulsi Gabbard could be the dark horse in the race.

Presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump (R) delivered remarks at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention in Washington, DC. He told the party’s members that they should pick him as their nominee and be “winners” instead of being content with getting 3% of the vote in the general election. This was a reference to the Libertarian Party’s most successful attempt to date to win the presidency under nominee Gary Johnson in 2016. He also made several pledges, such as filling senior posts with Libertarians if elected, and pardoning Jan. 6 convicts and commuting the life sentence of convicted drug trafficker Ross Ulbricht. The former president’s speech was met with controversy in the Libertarian Party, with some members protesting his speech in the days preceding this event. Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also delivered a speech to the convention, which happened on the previous day, though neither Mr. Kennedy nor Mr. Trump ran on the Libertarian ticket.

Donald Trump became the first Republican nominee for President to address the Libertarian National Convention Saturday, and he told them that they should nominate him as their candidate if they want to win.

During the speech, Trump told the raucous crowd “I think you should nominate me or at least vote for me, and we should win together…Vote for me because the Libertarians want to vote for me and most of them will.”

Trump continued, to booing from the crowd, noting “We have to get rid of the worst president in history and together we will. Without it, there’s a risk that we could have four more years where we won’t have a country left.”

Trump promised to put a Libertarian in his cabinet, and Libertarians in senior posts.

“Or you can keep going the way you have for the last long decades and get your three percent,” he told the crowd, adding “You have a lot of common sense, it’s time to be winners.”

Venturing beyond his typical audience of uniformly-adoring supporters, Donald Trump was showered with boos, heckling but also applause as he addressed the Libertarian National Convention in Washington DC on Saturday night.

The very idea of his speech was unusual. As the Washington Post's Aaron Blake noted when it was announced weeks ago, "Even for the Libertarian Party, inviting another party's 2024 nominee to speak even as it nominates a candidate to oppose them is something."

Between that dynamic and the fact that Trump's resume is full of items that are repulsive to libertarians, the party's invitation was deeply controversial...as evidenced by this delegate's motion on Friday:

In addition to party delegates, Saturday's crowd also included Trump supporters who bought tickets to the event. When they periodically broke out in chants of "WE WANT TRUMP," libertarians drowned them out with "END THE FED."

There was tension between the camps before Trump even took the stage. Having been dismissed from the convention proceedings, party delegates entered the hall where Trump would be speaking to find that Trump supporters who'd purchased spectator tickets were already in the front rows -- despite previous assurances from party chairwoman Angela McArdle that delegates would get the best seats. Verbal battles escalated into fisticuffs.
