WASHINGTON — Hours after former President Donald Trump asked libertarians for their party’s nomination and votes, the party chair said he did not submit the appropriate paperwork.

“I also learned that Mr. Trump did not turn in any nominating papers,” Libertarian Party Chair Angela McArdle announced to the delegates Sunday. “But he was nominated, and it’s nice to be nominated.”

Moments earlier, the crowd at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention jeered the man nominating Trump for consideration.

“I would like to nominate the greatest president of our time, Donald J. Trump,” the libertarian said as the crowd of delegates booed loudly in response.

Another man made his way to a microphone to argue that Trump did not qualify for nomination, which the crowd responded to with applause and a partial standing ovation.

When reached for comment, a Trump campaign spokesperson pointed to the former president’s post to Truth Social.

“The reason I didn’t file paperwork for the Libertarian Nomination, which I would have absolutely gotten if I wanted it (as everyone could tell by the enthusiasm of the Crowd last night!), was the fact that, as the Republican Nominee, I am not allowed to have the Nomination of another Party,” Trump said in the post.

The audience heckled the former president throughout his Saturday night speech, at times lobbing curses and insults. Certain sections of his remarks, such as his statement that he began no new wars during his term in office, were met with applause.

NBC News reached out to the Republican National Committee for clarification on party rules.

On Saturday, Trump asked multiple times for the audience to nominate him or vote for him. The audience, however, was consistently hostile to the former president, especially when Trump suggested they support him.

“I think you should nominate me or at least vote for me,” Trump said during his Saturday evening speech. The crowd booed in response.

There is a history of the Conservative Party of New York nominating Trump in 2016 and in 2020 while Trump maintained his GOP party nomination. NBC News has reached out to the Trump campaign for clarification on the former president’s previous duel nominations in the state.
