Kennedy Jr. faced setback at Libertarian convention.

During the Libertarian convention, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced a setback as he failed to secure the party's nomination for president. In the first round of voting, Kennedy Jr. only managed to garner 2% of the vote, falling short of expectations.

The Libertarian convention voters ultimately decided against selecting Kennedy Jr. as their nominee, signaling a shift in the party's preferences. The outcome of the initial voting round has set the stage for further rounds of voting to determine the party's official candidate for the upcoming presidential election.

While Kennedy Jr. may have entered the convention with hopes of securing the Libertarian nomination, his performance in the first round of voting suggests that he faces an uphill battle in winning over the party's delegates. The competition remains fierce as other candidates vie for the opportunity to represent the Libertarian party on the national stage.

As the voting process continues at the convention, the outcome remains uncertain, with delegates weighing their options and considering the various candidates vying for the nomination. The decision to reject Kennedy Jr. highlights the diversity of opinions within the Libertarian party and the importance of selecting a candidate who aligns with the party's values and principles.

With the convention ongoing, all eyes are on the remaining candidates as they make their case to the delegates and seek to secure the Libertarian nomination for president. The outcome of the convention will have significant implications for the party's future direction and its prospects in the upcoming election.
