Retired Gen. David Petraeus said early Sunday that he does not vote and therefore did not cast a ballot for or against President-elect Donald Trump.

{mosads}“I don’t vote, so that’s an easy answer,” Petraeus told ABC’s “This Week.” “And I also did not support him nor did I oppose him. Nor did I support or oppose any other candidate. I’ve truly tried to be apolitical, nonpolitical,” he said Sunday.

Petraeus met with Trump last week, as the president-elect considers the former CIA director for secretary of State. 

Trump is considering several others to head the State Department, including former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.).
