Music legend Bruce Springsteen on Thursday endorsed Democratic candidates for Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Posted to his email address instagram accounta three-minute video shot at the diner shows the boss speaking directly to the camera.
“Hello, I’m Bruce Springsteen. Friends, fans, and the press have asked me who I’m supporting in this most important election, and my opinion is as good as the rest of the nation’s.” My answer, knowing it’s important, is: I support Kamala Harris for president, Tim Walz for vice president, and I support Donald Trump and J.D. I am against Mr. Vance.”
Always eloquent, Springsteen spoke of the need for the country to unite behind “the common story that has made us a great, unified nation,” adding:It takes time, hard work, intelligence, faith, and women And they are people who have the national interest as their guiding principle. ”
“Donald Trump is the most dangerous presidential candidate in my lifetime,” Springsteen continued, “his contempt for the sanctity of our Constitution, the sanctity of our democracy, the sanctity of the rule of law.” , and the sanctity of the peaceful transfer of power.” He should be removed from office again. He doesn’t understand the meaning of this country, its history, or what it means to be deeply American. ”
Springsteen is no stranger to clashing with conservative politicians. In 1984, then-President Ronald Reagan tried to adapt Springsteen’s hugely successful song “Born in the USA.” Springsteen revealed The policies and politics of people like Reagan didn’t align with the words and stories Springsteen wrote in his songs.
He has since been open about his disdain for injustice, confronting police brutality in songs.American skin (41 shots)” was written about the 1999 murder of an unarmed 23-year-old Guinean student named Amadou Diallo.
This isn’t the first time Springsteen has criticized Donald Trump. “Basically the Republic is under siege by idiots. It’s all tragic.” Springsteen he told Rolling Stone in 2016.said Trump’s answers to America’s problems are “wrong.”
Springsteen’s video ends with his characteristic humility and eloquence, stating that the values Harris and Waltz represent are the same as “the vision of America that I have consistently written about for 55 years.”
“Each person sees things differently, but as a fellow citizen I respect your choice. But like you, I only have one vote, and it’s the most I have. “It’s one of our most valuable assets,” Springsteen says. “That’s why I’m voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz on November 5th. Thank you for listening.”
Just like the waltz I found out on the live broadcast The vice presidential candidate’s reaction to Springsteen’s endorsement was one of pleasant surprise when he learned that megastar Taylor Swift had endorsed his ticket.
“Wow. As a lifelong fan of The Boss, I couldn’t be more honored to have his support,” Waltz said in a statement. Post to X.
