Oliver campaigned extensively in Iowa during the summer of 2023. [5] [6] The Gazette described him as a " pro-gun, pro-police reform, pro-choice Libertarian" who is "armed and gay." [7] On August 19, 2023, he spoke at the Des Moines Register Political Soapbox, becoming the first-ever third-party presidential candidate to speak at the event. [8]
The Christian Science Monitor described Oliver as a potential "opening in the middle" that may deliver a reprieve to "voters unhappy with both major-party front-runners" looking for representation from a younger generation. [9]

On February 29, 2024, Oliver participated in a presidential candidates debate hosted by the Free & Equal Elections Foundation, alongside Party for Socialism and Liberation nominee Claudia De la Cruz, Green Party candidates Jill Stein and Jasmine Sherman, and fellow Libertarian candidate Lars Mapstead.
