Rep. Justin Amash exploring potential run for president as Libertarian candidate

WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Justin Amash of west Michigan took another step toward running for president on Tuesday, saying he has formed an exploratory committee to look into his chances of winning the Libertarian Party's nomination. 
Amash, an independent congressman from Cascade Township outside Grand Rapids, announced his intentions on Twitter about 8:30 p.m. In a series of posts, he said, "Americans are ready for practical approaches based in humility and trust of the people."
A former Republican who left the party last summer as he called for President Donald Trump's impeachment, Amash said a couple of weeks ago he was considering running for president and would make an announcement soon.

Not sure if this is bad or good for Biden. I would hope he steals votes from tRamp.
