About Jo Jorgensen 2020 presidential campaign in brief
Jo Jorgensen was nominated by the Libertarian Party as its candidate for vice president in 1996. She is the party’s first female presidential nominee. Her campaign has received less media coverage than those of Gary Johnson, her predecessor as party’s presidential nominee in 2012 and 2016. Some in the party have criticized her for perceived departures from libertarian ideology in exchange for mainstream appeal. She opposes embargoes, economic sanctions, and foreign aid; she supports non-interventionism, armed neutrality, and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from abroad. She supports a free-market healthcare system financed by individual spending accounts that could keep any savings, which she believes would increase healthcare providers’ incentive to compete by meeting consumer demand for low-cost services.
In a Libertarian presidential primary debate, she said she would immediately stop construction on President Donald Trump’s border wall. She argued that immigration helps the economy and that the blending of cultures is beneficial. She has characterized the U. S. government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic as overly bureaucratic and authoritarian, calling restrictions on individual behavior and corporate bailouts “the biggest assault on our lifetime liberties in our lifetime” She opposes mask mandates, considering mask-wearing a matter of personal choice.
