> He ran for US president
With a campaign slogan of "Don't Vote McAfee". And he failed to win the Libertarian nomination in either 2016 or 2020 -- he barely even placed in the 2020 nomination, winning a grand total of two write-in votes (out of over a thousand).
This was never a serious campaign. It was a publicity stunt.
> How was he on the run.
He conducted his "campaign" from a boat in the Caribbean, and described himself as "in exile".
