Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker said he still isn’t voting for either major political party’s presidential candidate when November 8 comes around, according to Boston magazine.

Baker, who was on vacation in Ireland when numerous allegations of Republican nominee Donald Trump kissing and groping women without their consent surfaced, said he’s “incredibly disappointed” in voters’ choices for the upcoming presidential election.

“There’s a reason why I said I wasn’t going to vote for either of them,” Baker told Boston. “And let me start by saying I said wasn’t going to support Donald Trump a very long time ago, seven months. I think I was one of the first elected Republican officials in the country to say that I could not see myself voting for him because I didn’t believe he had the temperament to do the job. I still don’t.”

But that doesn’t mean he’ll be voting for his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, either.

“Secretary Clinton, in my view, has believability problems,” he said.
