  • Summary:

    1. Sabrina Salvati is hosting a [inteview] with guest Larry [Sharpe], a commentator and Libertarian candidate for governor of New York.
    2. The Libertarian National Convention attracted attention this year due to RFK Jr receiving a nomination from the party and Donald Trump speaking at the event.
    3. The Libertarian Party decides on its nominee during the convention, and anyone can be nominated from the floor as long as they are registered with the party and get a seconded nomination.
    4. RFK Jr was nominated by someone from the floor and ran for the nomination along with several other Libertarians, but he was not chosen as the party's nominee.
    5. Some Libertarians wanted RFK Jr to be nominated for the votes he could bring to help the party gain ballot access in certain states.
    6. The announcement of RFK Jr's nomination caused confusion on social media, as people assumed he was the party's nominee for the general election.
    7. A phone call from Angela was made to RFK Jr to confirm his acceptance of the nomination.
    8. The Libertarian Party's internal workings are not well understood by many people, which contributed to the confusion surrounding RFK Jr's nomination.
