Could RFK Jr. Be Libertarian Party Nominee?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appears set to pivot his presidential campaign from the Democratic presidential primary to an independent bid, Mediaite reports. Just one week earlier, the New York Times reported that Kennedy could find a potential home in the Libertarian Party:

Kennedy allegedly considers himself “very libertarian” because, as McArdle suggests, he is both skeptical of the “deep state” and a populist. Of course, neither trait is inherently libertarian. Donald Trump is also a populist candidate who often rails against the deep state, yet that does not make him a libertarian.
