SUMMARY: The recent presidential debate featured Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, but third-party candidates could influence the election, particularly in Georgia. A legal battle is ongoing regarding the removal of certain candidates, but Georgia Libertarians Chase Oliver and Mike Termont will remain on the ballot. Oliver emphasizes personal freedoms and advocates for armed personnel in schools. He believes inflation can be curbed by reducing government spending. With six candidates on the ballot, the election could be close, recalling past elections where third-party candidates swayed results, as with Ralph Nader in 2000.

While there’s been a lot of buzz about Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, some people believe the third party candidates will play a big role in the final outcome for who is voted for president in Georgia. Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver spoke to FOX 5 Atlanta about his campaign.
