As much as you might like to, you can't vote for Jed Bartlett in 2020. The fictional POTUS from "The West Wing" still isn't on the ballot. However, you will have a chance to see him again on an upcoming reunion of the beloved drama, which originally aired on NBC from 1999 to 2006.

Variety reports that "The West Wing" cast is getting back together for a good cause. Series creator Aaron Sorkin will play host as the original cast members appear on stage to perform “Hartsfield’s Landing,” an episode from the show’s third season.

Martin Sheen, Rob Lowe, Dulé Hill, Allison Janney, Janel Moloney, Richard Schiff, and Bradley Whitford will all be participating. The special presentation will also include some guest appearances and a message from the real former First Lady, Michelle Obama.

The reunion show will benefit When We All Vote, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that aims to increase voter participation. It will stream this fall on HBO Max, but the date hasn't been announced yet.
