'Wow': CNN host stunned by former Trump advisor's answer on who he is voting for

Former Trumpnational security adviser John Bolton divulged who he wrote in as his president back in 2020 and who he plans on voting for come November 5. And they're both the same person.

During an appearance on CNN's "The Source," host Kaitlan Collins asked Bolton directly who the steadfast Republican voted for if, as he's claimed, he didn't vote for former President Donald Trump.

"You've said you're going to write someone in November," Collins said.

And Bolton concurred: "That's what I did in 2020 and I'll do it again this November."

"Who did you write in 2020," Collins pressed. "You've never revealed that before."

A smile took over Bolton's mustachioed face as if his magic trick was found out by another savvy magician.

"Well, I might as well say it now... I voted for Dick Cheney."

"Wow," was all Collins could say at first after learning the former vice president was his choice to lead the free world.

Then she inquired about his reasons.

"Because he was a principled Reaganite conservative and he still is," Bolton said.

Cheney left Washington in 2009 after serving two terms as V.P. under former President George W. Bush.

Bolton feels like putting 83-year-old Cheney back in charge of the country would be a good thing.

"Age is no longer a factor in American presidential politics," he said. "So his age doesn't disqualify him. And I think he'd do an immensely better job than either for Trump or Biden."

Collins asked if his daughter and former congresswoman Liz Cheney who represented the state of Wyoming fit his criteria to serve as president. (Cheney lost her reelection bid back in 2022.)

"Well, I like Liz a lot and maybe someday she'll get my write-in vote," Bolton said. "But right now, stick with her father."
