In 2016, I wasn’t happy with the choices between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, so I voted for the Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson. I also voted for Al Gore in 2000 and worked on his political campaign as a college student.įor much of my adult life, I considered myself a Democrat, but in 2016 that began to change. I have shared my presidential votes publicly every year that I’ve been a public figure.įor those of you who are new to OutKick: here are my presidential votes since I became a public media figure in 2004: I think authenticity matters, and I believe audiences should know what public figures who claim to be unbiased do when they enter the privacy of a voting booth. That’s why more so now than at any point in my life, I believe every single media member should address his or her audience and say exactly what they are doing with their own vote this year. I don’t believe any media entity should have people who agree on everything. But like the country, OutKick has people voting for Joe Biden and people voting for Donald Trump, and people who simply won’t vote at all. I think many of the things we are arguing are very important. I’ve never been more proud to own a media company than over this past year. But I am proud of the fact that OutKick represents the First Amendment wing of the First Amendment party. It would be impossible because we have so many opinions every day. I don’t agree with every opinion on this website. Often it’s hidden under the cloak of “objective journalism.” At OutKick, we have a wide variety of opinions we publish every single day.

I don’t expect you all to agree with me on every one of those issues, but I do believe that the reason the OutKick audience is exploding across audio, video, and web is because there’s a deep and abiding desire in this country for people from all walks to life to say exactly what they believe and not apologize for their opinions.Įxtreme media bias in this country is very real. You should make your own decisions irrespective of what I say in this column.īut what I do believe in is authenticity.įor better or worse, I tell you every single day exactly what I think about a variety of issues. So I’m not telling you to vote either with me or against me. The great thing about American democracy is all of our votes are equal.

I think all of you are smart enough to make your own decisions without needing to see what a newspaper, union, celebrity, athlete, or D-List opinionist like me is doing with his or her vote.

On Tuesday, I will vote for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election.Īs a preliminary, I don’t believe in endorsements.
