Bruce Springsteen









Bruce Springsteen has endorsed Kamala Harris for president.

	The “Born in the U.S.A.” singer, who was vocally supportive of Barack Obama and Joe Biden in their respective elections, 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.”

	Speaking to why he will be voting for Harris, Springsteen said, “On the other hand, 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, and they want to grow our 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.”

	Listen to Springsteen’s full remarks in the video below.
