Bruce Springsteen endorses Kamala Harris and blasts Donald Trump

Legendary ‘Born in the USA’ singer Bruce Springsteen has endorsed Kamala Harris for president, adding his name to a long list of celebrities backing the Democratic nominee.

Springsteen made the announcement in a video posted to Instagram.

“Perhaps not since the Civil War has this great country felt as politically, spiritually and emotionally divided as it does than at this moment,” Springsteen said in the video, shot inside of a diner. “It doesn’t have to be this way.”

The Boss added: “Donald Trump is the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime. His disdain 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 doesn’t understand the meaning of this country, its history, or what it means to be deeply American.”

Springsteen said that Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, “are committed to a vision of this country that respects and includes everyone, regardless of class, religion, race, your political point of view or sexual identity, and they want to grow the economy in a way that benefits all, not just a few like me. On top, that’s the vision of America I’ve been consistently writing about for 55 years.”

He concluded: “Now, everybody sees things different, and I respect your choice as a fellow citizen. But like you, I’ve only got one vote, and it’s one of the most precious possessions that I have. That’s why come Nov. 5 I’ll be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Thanks for listening.”

The news of his endorsement is hardly surprising, as Springsteen was a vocal supporter of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016 when she went up against Trump.

Springsteen joins the likes of Taylor Swift, Oprah, Sigourney Weaver, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, George Clooney, Beyoncé, Charli XCX, Billie Eilish and Chappell Roan, who have all thrown their support behind Harris.
