Billionaire investor Warren Buffett arrives in a trolley he rented to take voters to their polling station in Omaha.

Fulfilling a promise to raise turnout in his district in Nebraska, billionaire investor Warren Buffett rented an old-fashioned trolley in Omaha to drive voters to the polls.

Buffett β€” who supports Hillary Clinton β€” rode on the trolley with voters as part of an initiative offering people rides on Election Day.

"I'm really hoping we get this big turnout, just generally β€” forget about which side they vote for β€” but I would like the Second District of Nebraska to be on the pages tomorrow as saying that the biggest increase in turnout of any congressional district in the country," Buffett said.

β€œWe just want everybody to at least have the chance to vote,” he said.

He also posed for selfies on the trolley, and waited in line with others to vote.
