A few people ahead of Biden in line was a man wearing a red hat, which resembled the former president’s MAGA merchandise.

However, instead of the standard tagline “Make America Great Again,” the voter’s hat read: “Elect That Motherf***er Again!!”

Biden waited about 40 minutes to cast his ballot at the Wilmington polling station, as he patiently stood about 10 spots behind the unidentified Trump backer.

Biden was seen chatting with other prospective voters, and helped push an older woman in a wheelchair who was ahead of him in line.

After submitting his ballot, Biden was asked by a reporter if it was bittersweet to have voted for Vice President Kamala Harris rather than himself.

According to USA Today, Biden responded, “This is sweet.”

Harris, whom Biden endorsed after dropping out, is vying to become the first Black woman and first person of South Asian descent to serve as president.
