Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) cast his vote inside what appeared to be a school gymnasium.

The former Democratic presidential candidate has thrown his support behind one-time rival Hillary Clinton, while simultaneously preparing to push liberal legislation if she wins.

It remains to be seen if those who supported Sanders in the primary race will follow his lead to turn out and vote for Clinton.

Earlier on Election Day, Sanders tweeted a video message to his supporters, saying: “Today is an election of enormous consequence. I hope everybody gets out to vote.”
