Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, cast two of New York’s Electoral College votes Monday, but Clinton made certain to reassure her remaining supporters that she still supports abolishing the Electoral College despite her participation.

The Clintons, who now make their home in New York, cast two of that state’s Electoral College votes for Joe Biden Monday, helping the 2020 Democratic presidential contender secure his victory over President Donald Trump.
