The Libertarian Party has nominated their 2020 presidential candidate in a first-in-the-nation virtual convention.

On Saturday, the Libertarian Party nominated Jo Jorgensen from Libertyville, Illinois, to be their 2020 presidential candidate during a historic virtual presidential nominating convention, the first of it's kind.

During the convention, delegates also nominated 37-year-old Spike Cohen as their vice-presidential nominee.

Jorgensen is a senior lecturer in psychology at Clemson University. She has a Ph.D. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and has taught full-time since 2006. She graduated in 1979 from Baylor University with a B.S. in psychology, then graduated from Southern Methodist University in 1980 with an MBA. She was previously the Libertarian Party's vice presidential candidate on the 1996 ticket with Harry Browne.

"I am glad that the voters will finally have a real choice because the non-choice between Trump and Biden is still an option between big government and more big government," said Jorgensen. "The volunteers are already pouring in and it looks like it will be the most massive volunteer effort that the LP has ever seen. It is really growing from the grass roots."

As it currently stands, 63-year-old Jorgensen will be the youngest candidate on the ballot in all 50 states, with Trump being 73-years-old, and Biden being 77-years-old.

The Democratic Party was most assuredly paying attention to the virtual convention, as they are considering a very similar virtual nominating convention on Monday, August 17. Trump however, is pushing for the Republican Party to hold an in-person convention in North Carolina on Monday, August 24.
