Matthew Livelsberger, identified as the suspect in the Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion outside of Trump International, was a registered ‘No Labels’ voter — though a family member described him as a Trump supporter.
Livelsberger became a registered voter in El Paso County, Colo., in June 2020 when he got his driver’s license through the Department of Motor Vehicles, according to the El Paso County, Colo., clerk’s office.
At that time, he was unaffiliated with a party. His registration was canceled after he failed to vote in two general elections, and then he re-registered to vote online, registering in the “No Labels” party July 2024.
No Labels is a centrist, nonprofit organization formed in 2009 as the brainchild of founding Chairman and former Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, a Democrat-turned-independent, and Nancy Jacobson, a political activist. The political organization has not returned requests for comment.
The group calls itself the “commonsense majority” and targets people who are feeling “politically homeless” and “tired of the extremes on the left and the right,” according to a previous Las Vegas Review-Journal report.
Colorado has recognized No Labels as a minor political party since 2023, and it has approximately 24,100 registered voters, according to Colorado secretary of state data.
Dean Livelsberger, the uncle of Matthew Livelsberger, described his nephew as a patriot and a Trump supporter who had been in the Army Special Forces.
Nevada GOP Chairman Michael McDonald said he was “caught off guard” when he learned Livelsberger was a registered No Labels voter.
During the election McDonald discussed politics with several people who expressed losing faith in government and not liking either major party.
“A lot of people just don’t trust the government anymore, and it’s scary,” McDonald said.
