Stephen Colbert’s taking his bid for the presidency all the way…to South Carolina.

The TV personality’s ongoing joke about running for president came one step closer to being the truth when he filed to get on the ballot in the South Carolina Democratic primary. The actor is a native to the state and had mentioned he would run there only.

It’s still up to party officials to decide whether or not he’ll actually make it on the ballot.

It’s unclear whether he filed to be on the Republican ballot before the deadline of noon on Thursday had passed.
