Americans go to the polls today as Donald Trump takes on Kamala Harris in the US presidential election.
Republican nominee Trump is aiming to return to office after losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden. He was previously in office between 2016 and 2020, having beaten Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. His running mate is Ohio Senator JD Vance.
Meanwhile, Democrat candidate Harris is hoping to step up from her current role as Vice President. She took over from Biden as the nominee in July after he stood down.
Pollsters have suggested the race will be close, with the result expected to be declared overnight. And as the campaigns reach their conclusion, people are looking to unlikely sources to get their opinions on the election.
One of them is Robbie Williams, who has gone viral for sharing his take on the battle between Trump and Harris. While he thinks the Democrat leader will be the more “sensible” option, he does believe the former President has one quality that trumps her.
When English singer songwriter Robbie Williams was stopped out and about by TikToker @publicpollsdaily, and asked whether he supported “Kamala or Trump”, he burst out laughing awkwardly.
“I find the whole thing absolutely fascinating”, he admitted, describing American politics as “way more sexier” and “funnier” than we have it here in the United Kingdom.
The interviewer then asked: “Who has more rizz in your opinion?” For those not in the know, ‘rizz’ is a Gen Z slang term used to describe “the ability to attract a romantic or sexual partner through style, charm, or attractiveness”.
It’s thought to have derived from the word ‘charisma’, which Robbie suggested Trump has heaps of. The Angels singer said: “Trump has more rizz, but Kamala’s probably the more sensible route to take”.
In the comments, people expressed their opinions about who they’d like to see come on top in the polls. One replied: “Robbie Williams is smarter than I gave him credit for”.
But a Trump supporter disagreed, writing: “Robbie Williams is not right in the head if he thinks Kamala is the more sensible route”.
And a third shocked commenter questioned: “Ok, cool, it’s Robbie Williams, but did he just say Trump has rizz??”
