Overview

  • Libertarian Party chair Steven Nekhaila told Politico that backing its nationwide ballot infrastructure would be wiser than launching a new party
  • No Labels governing board member Dan Webb confirmed his group has extended a similar invitation to integrate Musk’s America Party vision into its existing centrist platform
  • Musk has not responded publicly to either offer and remains focused on backing Rep. Thomas Massie in his Kentucky reelection bid
  • His fallout with President Trump stems from opposition to a GOP spending bill projected to add $4 trillion to deficits and eliminate electric-vehicle tax credits
  • The outreach underscores the steep costs and logistical hurdles new parties face for ballot access, challenges highlighted by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s 2024 campaign
