Earlier this week, Marc Victor, the Libertarian Party candidate for Arizona's U.S. Senate seat, dropped out and endorsed Blake Masters, the Republican nominee.
Many libertarians saw this move as a betrayal, including Justin Amash, a Libertarian and former member of the U.S. House of Representatives, who called Victor's decision "utterly pathetic." Other libertarian personalities clearly have some affection for Masters, including Dave Smith, a comedian and potential L.P. presidential candidate in 2024, who backed Masters and commended Victor for exiting the race.
