Buffett: Not endorsing any American political candidate

Warren Buffett has said he will not endorse any political candidate just two weeks before US citizens head to the polls to choose their next president. The 94-year-old billionaire posted a statement on his Berkshire website seeking to put an end to online rumours of Mr. Buffett's support for political candidates and investment products. "Given the increasing use of social media, fraudulent claims have been made that Mr. Buffett endorses investment products and endorses political candidates," the statement read. "Buffett does not endorse investment products, nor endorses and endorses political candidates, now and in the future." Mr. Buffett, who has supported Democratic candidates in the past, endorsed Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
