President Obama Officially Voted For His Successor

Can you guess whom he voted for?

President Barack Obama cast his ballot for his successor on Friday, during a fundraising trip home to Chicago.

Obama joked with poll workers that he is a little bit younger than his birthdate indicates, saying he was born in 1981 when he was born in 1961.

As he was voting, Obama looked at reporters following him and said, “They can’t see who I’m voting for, can they?” When he was asked which candidate he voted for, Obama just smiled.

While it is technically a secret ballot, it’s a pretty safe bet that the president didn’t choose Donald Trump’s name. He has frequently criticized the GOP nominee ― saying he’s unfit for the presidency ― and enthusiastically endorsed Hillary Clinton.

Early voting in Illinois began on Sept. 29.
