AP Interview: Amash says voters want political ‘alternative’

DAVID EGGERT Associated Press LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan said Wednesday he is seeking the Libertarian nod for president because millions of Americans do not feel well represented by either major political party and their standard-bearers: President Donald Trump and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. Amash, a Trump critic who left the Republican Party to become an independent and later supported his impeachment, told The Associated Press that too many people vote Republican or Democrat because they do not feel they have any other choice. "It's important that we present them with that alternative. ... The first step to moving toward no political parties or all independent candidates is to provide some big challengers to the main two parties right now,"
