Trump, Kennedy to Speak at Libertarian Convention

The Libertarian National Convention in Washington, D.C., this weekend will feature speeches from both former President Donald Trump and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy is set to address the convention Friday afternoon, a day ahead of Trump's scheduled appearance. The Libertarian Party’s chair, Angela McArdle, says the invitation of Trump and Kennedy to speak at the event is unusual and the party is hopeful the attention will boost awareness of its platform. Kennedy has challenged Trump to a debate at the gathering. Polls show that Trump is narrowly ahead of Biden in national polling, while Kennedy trails with just shy of 10%. The impact of Kennedy's participation seems to shift between Trump and Biden in key battleground states.
