Like a red-sweatered Punxsutawney Phil, Ken Bone has emerged from his home in anonymity to give his take on the upcoming presidential election. Turns out, he isn't voting for Trump or Biden. He's going Jorgensen.

Newsweek caught up with 2016's most famous undecided voter to get his take on the current election.

"To be perfectly honest, I'd say I'm uncommitted again," he said in a piece published this morning. "Very, very few people in either of these election cycles were truly undecided. They're uncommitted, which means that you don't really have a positive opinion of either candidate."

Bone turned into an overnight sensation following his appearance at 2016's Town Hall debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, where he asked a question about the candidates' energy plans. He was briefly the talk of the internet and the center of countless memes before he turned into the poster boy for Milkshake Ducks; his Reddit history was soon discovered, and there he'd been posting saucy comments on Jennifer Lawrence's leaked nudes and made controversial comments on pregnant women and Trayvon Martin's death.

Bone's return to the news cycle riled up Twitter users, who were exasperated to find Bone still hadn't made a decision in an election between two of the most well-known politicians in America.


All the hemming and hawing about Bone's indecision turned out to be for naught, however, as a few hours after the piece ran, Bone tweeted that he voted Clinton in 2016 and that this year, he would be voting for Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgensen, somehow managing to piss everyone off (except probably Jorgensen).

Earlier in the election cycle, Bone endorsed Andrew Yang and held negative opinions about both Trump and Joe Biden. "Why should I declare my allegiance to a candidate who doesn't give a shit about me two months before the election?", he tweeted.
