Former Governor Gary Johnson of New Mexico declared his candidacy for the Libertarian Party (LP) nomination for President of the United States on January 6, 2016. He officially won the nomination on May 29, 2016 at the Libertarian National Convention in Orlando, Florida, receiving 55.8% of the vote. Former Massachusetts Governor William Weld was endorsed by Johnson for the Libertarian vice-presidential nomination, which he also received on May 29, 2016.
Together, Johnson and Weld are the first ticket of any party to feature two Governors since the 1948 presidential election.
Background
Johnson ran as the Libertarian presidential nominee in the 2012 election. In that race, he finished with the third highest popular vote total, nearly 1.3 million votes, and garnered nearly 1% of the popular vote.[2] Johnson's vote total was the highest received by any LP candidate—for any office—in the party's history.[3][4] Shortly after the election, Johnson began to express interest in running for the Libertarian nomination again in the 2016 election.[5][6][7]
Campaign
Johnson formally announced his candidacy for the 2016 Libertarian presidential nomination, in an interview with Neil Cavuto on the Fox Business Network program Coast to Coast, on January 6, 2016.[8][9] He has since begun participating in a series of debates with the other candidates seeking the nomination, held at state LP conventions around the country leading up the Libertarian National Convention over Memorial Day weekend in Orlando, Florida.[10][11][12][13]
On March 3, 2016, Johnson addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington D.C., touting himself as the third-party option for anti-Trump Republicans, and noting that the Libertarian Party will be the only third party candidate able to place its nominee on the ballot in all 50 states in 2016 due to ballot access deadlines.[14][15][16] Johnson's campaign has attracted increased attention as a possible vehicle for the Stop Trump movement's votes in the general election, if Donald Trump becomes the Republican nominee.[17][18][19]
On March 15, 2016 Johnson won the North Carolina Libertarian primary with 42% of the vote, ahead of "No Preference" at 35%, with other candidates all polling below 6%.[20] On March 1, 2016, Johnson won the Libertarian Party of Minnesota caucus with 75.7% of the vote.[21]
On March 29, 2016 Johnson attended the first nationally televised pre-nomination convention Libertarian Party presidential debate, hosted by Fox Business Network, on John Stossel’s show Stossel. The two-hour debate was divided into two one hour segments which were televised on April 1 and 8 at 9:00 Eastern Time. The debate featured Johnson, along with Austin Petersen and John McAfee.[22][23]
Following Ted Cruz's withdrawal from the race and Donald Trump becoming the Republican Party's presumptive nominee, it was widely reported that online searches for "Gary Johnson" and "Libertarian Party" spiked sharply on Google.[24][25][26]
In early May, some commentators opined that Johnson was moderate enough to pull votes away from both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump who are very disliked and polarizing.[27] Both conservative and liberal media noted that Johnson could get #NeverTrump votes and Bernie Sanders supporters.[28] Johnson also began to get time on national television, being invited on ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, Bloomberg, and many other networks.[29] Overall, Johnson was viewed favorably and many news outlets said he has a "very good chance" of being a major player in the 2016 United States Presidential Election.[30]
On May 18, Johnson announced that he had chosen former Republican Massachusetts Governor William Weld to be his running mate.[31]
On the first ballot of the 2016 Libertarian National Convention on May 29, 2016, Johnson earned 49.5% of the vote. On the second ballot, he won the nomination with 55.8% of the vote.[32]
Polling
In pre-nomination preference polls conducted by state Libertarian Parties, Johnson won first place in most states preceding the Libertarian National Convention at the end of May.[33] Since he announced his candidacy, Johnson has been the front-runner in primary polling through early May. Johnson's strong polling against Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump has received attention in the media.[34]
Libertarian primaries
With few exceptions, the Libertarian Party does not conduct presidential primaries. All delegates to the Libertarian National Convention are unpledged and may vote for the candidate of their choice. Online polling has been conducted sporadically, but as with all online polls, they are of dubious accuracy and purely non-scientific.
Of the states that do conduct a non-binding Libertarian Presidential Primary, Johnson has won in North Carolina, Nebraska, and in the Minnesota caucuses. Due to early deadlines, he was not on the ballot in Missouri, where 'Uncommitted' received the most votes.[35][36][37][38]
