Justin Amash just announced he’s running for president on the libertarian third-party ticket:
Today, I launched an exploratory committee to seek the @LPNational’s nomination for president of the United States. Americans are ready for practical approaches based in humility and trust of the people.

We’re ready for a presidency that will restore respect for our Constitution and bring people together. I’m excited and honored to be taking these first steps toward serving Americans of every background as president.

Amash must know that he can’t beat Trump. While I’m sure he’ll tell you he just wants to give Americans a true choice or something, He doesn’t stand an ice cube’s chance in hell of winning.
And talk about bringing people together? He voted with House Democrats to impeach Trump when everyone knew the charges were bogus. He’s not trying to bring anyone together.
I can only surmise that he really just wants to see Trump lose. I hate to be cynical, but he knows he can never get the kind of support Trump has behind him. All he can do is take away a small percentage of votes.
I wonder how many Democrats it took to talk him into running…
