In less than a day, the American populace will cast their votes for the next Commander-in-Chief. While many are anxiously awaiting the results of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, it’s accurate to say most U.S. citizens – and spectators abroad – are fearing the possibility of either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump moving into the White House.

Regardless, an election will take place, and whether Gary Johnson or Jill Stein miraculously make are elected as POTUS, or one of the inevitable primary candidates becomes the next President, the results are something everyone will have to deal with.

In the wake of escalating tensions between supporters of both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, advocates for each candidate continue to speak out on their behalf. One notable individual who shared his opinion on the upcoming election is Stevie Wonder.

During an interview with Philly.com, the blind musician made the comparison that voting for Donald Trump is like asking him to drive. He made this declaration after playing at his Get Out The Vote concert dedicated to Hillary Clinton last Friday in Philadelphia.

“If you had an emergency situation and needed to go to the hospital, and you had to get there right away, would you want me driving your car?” he asked the reporter, who replied with a “no”.

“Because I’m not an experienced driver, right?” Stevie added.

Commenting on Clinton’s impressive track record, he said:

“So my belief is that Hillary is an experienced person of the government, and she has spent 30 years with a commitment. Not to mention that her parents taught her in a kinder way, to have respect and love for all people. That’s the person I want to govern, to be the leader of this nation.” 

In the interview, the musician also slammed Trump for making negative remarks about women, individuals with disabilities, Muslims, and Latinos more than once. He said it would be a shame to have “last years of my life in a place of pessimism” if Trump was elected as POTUS.

“This is not a reality show. This is life in reality,” he said. “So I’m with her because I believe in where we are, and where we are going to go. I have always believed that America is great. We’re just going to make it greater.”
