Bruce Springsteen endorses Kamala Harris for president and launches an extraordinary attack on Trump
Music legend Bruce Springsteen officially endorsed Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday and launched an extraordinary attack on former President Donald Trump.
The 75-year-old rocker made his election preference known by posting a video on Instagram, which he appeared to have filmed from a restaurant.
Wearing a flannel button-down jacket, Springsteen warned that Trump was “the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime.”
“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 serving as president ever again,” Springsteen said.
He added that Trump “doesn’t understand the meaning of this country, its history, or what it means to be deeply American.”

Springsteen said Vice President Kamala Harris (pictured) and VP candidate Tim Walz were “committed to a vision for this country that respects and includes everyone.”
Springsteen opened the video by saying that “friends, fans and the press have been asking me who I support in this most important election.”
He acknowledged that his answer was “no less important than that of any of my fellow citizens,” but then said that, unsurprisingly, he supported the Democratic ticket.
Springsteen commented on the current divisive political climate, saying the country has not been “so politically, spiritually and emotionally divided” “since the Civil War.”
“It doesn’t have to be this way,” he said.
He said Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, were “committed to a vision for this country that respects and includes everyone.”
“Regardless of class, religion, race, your political stance or sexual identity,” he continued.
“And they want to grow our economy in a way that benefits everyone, not just the few, like me, on top,” Springsteen chuckled.
He officially became a billionaire this summer.
“That’s the vision of America I’ve been writing about consistently for 55 years,” he noted.
“Now everyone sees things differently and I respect your choice as a fellow citizen,” he said. “But like you, I only have one vote and it is one of the most precious possessions I have.”
“That’s why I’m casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz on November 5. Thanks for listening,” he finished.
