This is the most-liked Instagram post of the presidential election [View all]

No, Donald Trump does not have the most-liked post of the election. He’s not even in the top 10.

The honor goes to Bernie Sanders, who swept all 10 spots when it comes to posts with the highest number of Instagram responses, according to data provided by the photo-sharing app. The top post (see below) has 119,000 likes. He might not be competing with Instagram’s top users — the Kardashian/Jenner clan regularly net millions of likes — but that’s pretty good for a politician.

After all, Instagrammers are Bernie’s demographic this election. For instance, CNN’s exit polling after last month’s New York primary found Sanders took 72 percent of state voters ages 18 to 29, compared with Hillary Clinton’s 28 percent. It’s likely a lot of those voters use Instagram.

Check out the top 10 posts — again, all from Sanders — below:
