WASHINGTON\u2014Michigan Rep. Justin Amash, a high-profile critic of President Donald Trump who quit the GOP and became an independent, announced on May 16 he would not seek the Libertarian nomination for the White House, weeks after saying he was running because voters wanted an \u201calternative\u201d to the two major parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter much reflection, Ive concluded that circumstances dont lend themselves to my success as a candidate for president this year, and therefore I will not be a candidate,\u201d he said in one in a series of tweets explaining his decision.
