Google searches for third party candidate Jo Jorgensen spiked during Tuesday night’s presidential debate despite Jorgensen not being on stage.
Google trends showed that searches for Jorgensen’s name increased rapidly during the debate, peaking after the debate was over at 10:48 PM.
Searches began to increase sh0rtly before 9:00 when the debate began and dropped back down again after its peak.
Jorgensen’s name was still searched for Wednesday at a higher rate than before the debate.
Dr. Jo Jorgensen watched her website crash on Tuesday night — at least that’s what social media said happened — all because of the 2020 presidential debate.
What’s going on? Jorgensen — who is running in the 2020 election as the Libertarian candidate — made headlines Wednesday morning after the first presidential debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Interest in Jorgensen popped up Tuesday night during the debate, which reportedly led to her website crashing.
“The media won’t do our work for us. The corrupt @debates kept us off the stage last night and, of course, it turned into a shameful display of name calling, lies, and bad policy,” she wrote on Twitter.

I voted for her by mail about 9 times already, maybe people will wake the hell up and stop voting Democrat or Republican, they are both trash and opposite sides of the same coin.

I'm hoping the moderate Republicans dump the party of crap that they are presently in and join the sane people in voting Libertarian. They Republicans can keep the religious wackos and right wing loonies.

I hate the two party duopoly and would love to vote third party.
But Trump winning in November is way too important for America to waste my vote on someone with absolutely zero chance of winning.

Unfortunately, they will never let a third party candidate have enough air time to be a real threat.

Can't say I agree with Ms. Jorgenson's and the party's position on illegal immigration, but IDK, there is no perfect political platform.

It's no different than what's there now, a pathway to citizenship. You wouldn't have so many issues if we didn't have arbitrary quotas and a onerous immigration process. Legal immigration keeps the country vibrant and economically strong.

Absolutely, no argument from me on that. As long as one enters the country lawfully and works through the proper process, I'm all for it.

See: Ross Perot. He had a legit shot but screwed up his own campaign.

Did you vote for her this time?
I'm trying to vote for the 3rd party that most others are voting for.
