WASHINGTON—Former President Donald Trump and independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will take the stage at the Libertarian National Convention this weekend, with both candidates hoping to convince Libertarians to vote for them instead of the Libertarian Party’s own candidate.

Mr. Kennedy, who had been in talks with Libertarians to potentially pursue the party’s nomination, is slated to address the convention during the afternoon on May 24.
