On April 29, the New York Libertarian Party holds its statewide nominating convention in Albany. William Weld, who is seeking the Republican nomination, will also attend the Libertarian convention and ask for its nomination as well. William Weld was once Governor of Massachusetts. Although he is a strong contender for the New York Republican nomination, he has a strong opponent for that Republican nomination. It is likely that the race for the Republican nomination won’t be settled until September. If the Libertarians nominate Weld in April, they face the risk that he would withdraw in September if he doesn’t get the Republican nomination as well.
