Matalin declared on May 5, 2016, that she has changed her party registration to Libertarian as her party represents her "Jeffersonian, Madisonian [...] constitutional values" better than the Republican Party, which has lost two consecutive presidential elections and was "falling apart." Although maintaining the change was not because of Donald Trump's ascension to the presumptive Republican nominee, she chastised Trump for "his high school boy antics with women." In May 2016, she endorsed Austin Petersen for president.
In December 2016, she was named PETA's "Person of the Year" by the Society. "For example of compassion that all Americans can follow," the group said.
