Fox's Last Man Standing won't address whether Tim Allen's character is a Trump supporter

TVLine

When Last Man Standing makes its debut on Fox this fall, it won't be clear whether Allen's character, Mike Baxter, voted for President Trump. Fox co-chairman Gary Newman said at TV press tour that "the producers’ plans are simply not to address whether or not he might be a Trump supporter… That could change during the season, but there are no plans at this time… Clearly he’s a character with a conservative viewpoint." It wouldn't be unusual for a conservative-leaning sitcom to shy away from directly addressing the Trump presidency. The Roseanne revival, which paved the way for Last Man Standing's revival, never mentioned Trump's name, though it was clear Roseanne Conner was a Trump supporter.
