Instead of voting for presumptive Republican nominee and last man standing Donald Trump, Arnold Schwarzenegger chose to cast his ballot in the California primary for a candidate who's no longer in the race.
Daniel Ketchell, a spokesman for the former governor of California, told the Los Angeles Times that Schwarzenegger voted for John Kasich, a friend and the current governor of Ohio, on his mail-in ballot. Before Kasich suspended his campaign on May 4, Schwarzenegger endorsed him and raised money at fundraisers. Schwarzenegger replaced Trump as the host of Celebrity Apprentice, and for months has avoided discussing him or his campaign. Expect an angry tweet from Trump before the day is done.
