Republican Sen. Pat Toomey waited till the very last second to announce he voted for Donald Trump


Republican Sen. Pat Toomey is defending his Pennsylvania Senate seat against Democratic challenger Katie McGinty in one of the most closely watched down ballot races in the country. Toomey, notably, has spent the past several months attempting to distance himself from Donald Trump, even going as far as to praise Hillary Clinton's choice of a vice presidential candidate.
With just an hour left for Pennsylvania voters to cast their ballots, Toomey finally came clean about whom he is voting for — and yes, it is the Republican nominee. Jeva Lange
