9. I could see Jorgensen taking votes from both directions

The Guardian

Jorgensen herself doesn’t believe she is responsible for Republicans’ losses, and that the party’s candidates are to blame.

“They should be mad at those candidates for not following through on their campaign promises,” Jorgensen told the Greenville News, which is in her home state of South Carolina, earlier this week. She reportedly said that many of her supporters were “recovering Democrats” who want US troops brought home from abroad, as well as Republicans tired with federal spending.

She also supports abolishing ICE and criminal justice reform.

I would never vote for a libertarian because of their economic policies but I can see her drawing votes from both directions.
