Bruce Springsteen announced his support for Kamala Harris’ candidacy for president, calling Donald Trump “a most dangerous presidential candidate of my entire life » and claiming that the vice president and her running mate Tim Walz are “ committed to a vision of this country that respects and includes everyone ».
The Boss shared his support in a video on Instagram, filmed in a diner. While citing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz’s commitment to inclusion regardless of “ class, religion, race, political point of view or sexual identity “, Springsteen clarified: “ They want to grow our economy in a way that benefits everyone, not just a few people like me at the top. This is the vision of America that I have continued to tell for 55 years. »
Furthermore, Bruce Springsteen did not mince his words regarding Donald Trump. “ His disregard for the sanctity of our Constitution, democracy, the rule of law, and the peaceful transfer of power should disqualify him from serving as President in the future. He doesn’t understand the meaning of this country, its history, or what it means to be deeply American. »
Springsteen called the 2024 election “a one of the most important ” of the history of the United States, asserting that since the Civil War, the country has never been so ” divided politically, spiritually and emotionally ».
« This is not inevitable. The common values, the shared stories that make us one great, united nation, are waiting to be rediscovered. This will take time. Work, intelligence, faith, and women and men guided by the national interest. America is the most powerful nation on the planet, not only because of its military strength or its economic power, but also because of what it represents, what it means, what it does. believes. Freedom, social justice, equal opportunities, the right to be in love with whoever you want. »
Bruce Springsteen’s support for Kamala Harris comes as no surprise, since he has regularly supported Democratic candidates (and often campaigned for them) for years. He supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 and called Trump “a cretin » in an interview given to Rolling Stone in 2016. In 2020, he lent his support to Joe Biden, even going so far as to lend his voice to a campaign ad for the future president.
