The Libertarian ticket includes two former Republican governors, in Johnson of New Mexico and Bill Weld of MA, but McMullin said he couldn’t support them because “they’ve moved way left” in the general election.
Purdue President Mitch Daniels will lead the onstage discussion with Johnson at the France A. Córdova Recreational Sports Center. The poll found 32 percent of Johnson’s supporters are younger than 30, which is more than double Clinton’s 15 percent and Trump’s 12 percent.
