President Barack Obama said Tuesday that he had no idea who would triumph in the New Hampshire primary, according to a White House pool report.

When asked who he thought would win the first-in-the-nation primary, Obama reportedly responded, “I have no idea.”

Obama lost the Granite State in the 2008 election to current Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. It’s unclear if she’ll be victorious this time around, though, as recent polls show rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) with a strong lead in the state.
