Vice President Kamala Harris has received a powerful endorsement in her quest for the White House, as Bruce Springsteen has officially offered his support. In a video shared on Instagram, The Boss also spoke about his distaste for Trump, whom he characterized as the “most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime.” Watch the full video, where Springsteen speaks against the backdrop of a New Jersey diner, below.
“My opinions are no more or less important than those of any of my fellow citizens,” he acknowledged. “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 this way.”

The artist stated that he is “opposed” to Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance before mentioning social justice, equal opportunity, and “the right to be in love with whoever you want” as the things that really “make America great.”

“Donald Trump’s disdain for the sanctity of our Constitution and the peaceful transfer of power should disqualify him from the office of president ever again,” he continued. “He doesn’t understand the meaning of this country, its history, or what it means to be deeply American.”
The celebrated artist then shifted gears, explaining the tenets of the Harris-Walz campaign that earned his vote. “Kamala Harris and 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.”
Earlier this year, Bruce Springsteen crossed the mark into billionaire territory, and he also used a portion of the video to acknowledge Harris’ policies that would benefit people of all economic backgrounds, “Not just those on top like me.”
While some stars have been less forthcoming about their projected votes, Springsteen joins a list of folks like Taylor Swift, Charli XCX, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish and FINNEAS, Megan Thee Stallion, Jason Isbell, and Bon Iver, who have all pledged support for Harris and Walz.
