Bruce Springsteen criticizes Donald Trump in his support for Kamala Harris

Bruce Springsteen was “Born to Run” and believes Kamala Harris was also: The boss announced on Thursday in a video posted on Instagram that he supports Harris as president in the 2024 election.

Filmed in a diner, perhaps in the Garden State (hello to the second gentleman from New Jersey). Doug Emhoff), Springsteen said that press and fans had asked him for an endorsement.

“Knowing full well that my opinion is no more or less important than those of my fellow citizens, here is my response: I support Kamala Harris for President and.” Tim Waltz for the vice president and against Donald Trump And JD Vance.”

Of course, the “Born in the USA” musician’s political leanings are no secret – he took part in a commercial for Joe Biden‘s run 2020, supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 and has spoken out specifically against Trump many, many times, banning him from using his music at rallies and calling him an “idiot” to boot.

In his endorsement message, Springsteen not only explained why he supports the Harris-Walz ticket, but also said they are “committed to a vision of this country that respects and includes everyone, regardless of class, religion, race, or your political viewpoint.” , or sexual identity. And they want to grow the economy in a way that benefits everyone, not just a few like me at the top,” but they also took the time to destroy Trump with absolute surgical precision.

“Donald Trump is the most dangerous presidential candidate of my lifetime,” he said. “His disregard for the sanctity of our Constitution, the sanctity of democracy, the sanctity of the rule of law, and the sanctity of the peaceful transfer of power should disqualify him from the office of President ever again.” He does not deeply understand the meaning of this country, its history, or what it means to be American.”

Springsteen called this “one of the most consequential elections in our country’s history.” Perhaps not since the Civil War has this great country felt as politically, spiritually and emotionally divided as it does at this moment. It doesn’t have to be that way.”

The revered Grammy winner is just the latest in a string of stars to announce their choice of nominee. Some, like Chappell Roanwho said in a TikTok after backlash to her previous statements, “Yes, I’m voting for f***ing Kamala,” did so under some duress, while others like Shonda Rhimes endorsed Harris on the same day she was nominated as the Democratic candidate. “I stood behind her in 2016 when she ran for Senate, I stood behind her when she ran for vice president, and I still stand behind her today,” Rimes wrote on Instagram on July 21.

Springsteen concluded his message by saying that Harris and Walz “represent the vision of America that I have consistently written about for 55 years.”

“Today everyone sees things differently, and I respect your decision as a fellow citizen,” he said. “But like you, I only have one voice, and that is one of the most valuable possessions I have. That’s why I’ll be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz on November 5th. Thanks for listening.”
