As Americans go to the polls to cast votes for the president and down-ballot candidates, some Republican officials are revealing they did not vote for the incumbent president.
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (R) was asked by Mass Live whether he voted for President Donald Trump or Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. He said, “I blanked it.”
He previously said that he did not plan to vote for Trump in the presidential election. Baker did not vote for Trump or former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016 either.
Trump has not had the smoothest relationship with Baker. In September, he tweeted, “RINO Governor Charlie Baker of Massachusetts is unsuccessfully trying to defend Mail In Ballots, when there is fraud being found all over the place.”
“Just look at some of the recent races, or the Trump Ballots in Pennsylvania that were thrown into the garbage. Wrong Charlie!” he added.

Baker is not the only Republican governor to not vote for Trump. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said he wrote in former President Ronald Reagan on his ballot.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) also revealed he did not vote for Trump for president but said he “probably won’t” share who he voted for either.
However, he said, he believes the president has “excellent prospects” of winning re-election.
