State leadership and delegation chairs from several Libertarian Party chapters, including those in Florida, California, Colorado, Tennessee, Minnesota, Vermont, Nebraska, and the District of Columbia, have extended an invitation to independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr., urging him to seek the Libertarian Party’s presidential nomination.
The letter, published on Friday by Libertarians for Kennedy and signed by various party leaders, including an alternative region representative on the Libertarian National Committee, urges Kennedy to seek the presidential nomination of the Libertarian Party, with the understanding that the undersigned would consider voting for him in the first round if he accepts. Notably, the signatories clarify that the letter is not intended to be seen as a formal endorsement.
“Understanding your interest in the Libertarian Party presidential nomination and the shared concerns we have with the direction of the country that you highlight in your presidential campaign and the solution that only free market capitalism can bring, offer this letter as an invitation to you to seek the Libertarian Party presidential nomination,” the letter reads. “Should you agree to seek the presidential nomination, the undersigned will consider voting for you as the party’s nominee on the first or subsequent elimination rounds of voting until a candidate receives the majority vote of delegates. This letter is not construed as an endorsement.”

Normally I vote libertarian (in California it does not matter) but I will not do so this year if RFK Jr is nominee. He is farther from libertarian principles than Biden!
while RFK has articulated various ideas across the political spectrum, I hardly see him as a Liberatarian Party candidate.
Enemy of my enemy is my friend
Other than his stance on vaccines and the CIA, there isn’t one dang thing ‘libertarian’ about RFK Jr. On every other policy matter he is much more like his Uncle Ted than he is like his father or Uncle John.
I did the same when I lived in Arizona. McCain forced me to become a Libertarian for a while. I even was a party volunteer working on campaigns for a while. But I soon realized how foolish and useless the Libertarian Party is. So I got the heck out of Arizona AND the Libertarian Party.
