Bruce Springsteen slams Donald Trump in his Kamala Harris endorsement:  “Perhaps not since the Civil War has this great country felt as politically, spiritually, and emotionally divided as it does than at this moment,” The Boss said. "It doesn’t have to be this way.”

Bruce Springsteen was “Born to Run,” and believes Kamala Harris was too: The Boss shared on Thursday in a video posted to Instagram that he is endorsing Harris for president in the 2024, election.

Filmed in a diner, maybe in the Garden State (hello to fellow New Jersey native second gentleman Doug Emhoff), Springsteen said that press and fans had been asking him for an endorsement.

“With full knowledge that my opinion is no more or less important than those of any of my fellow citizens, here’s my answer: I’m supporting Kamala Harris for president and Tim Walz for vice president, and opposing Donald Trump and JD Vance.”

Of course, the “Born in the USA” musician’s political leanings are no secret—he participated in a commercial for Joe Biden’s 2020, run, endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016, and has spoken out specifically against Trump many, many times, banning him from using his music in rallies and calling him a “moron” to boot.

In his endorsement message, Springsteen not only detailed why he supports the Harris-Walz ticket, saying that they “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 the economy in a way that benefits all, not just the few, like me, on top,” but also took the time to destroy Trump with absolute surgical precision.

“Donald Trump is the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime,” he said. ⚠️❗“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.”

Springsteen called this “one of the most consequential elections in our nation’s history. Perhaps not since the Civil War has this great country felt as politically, spiritually, and emotionally divided as it does than at this moment. It doesn’t have to be this way.”

The revered Grammy winner is just the latest in a roster of stars who have made their choice of candidate known. 

Some, like Chappell Roan, who stated that, “Yeah, I’m voting for fucking Kamala” in a TikTok after backlash to her earlier statements, did so under some duress, while others such as Shonda Rhimes threw their support behind Harris the same day she was tapped as the Democratic candidate. “I stood behind her in 2016, when she ran for Senate, I was behind her when she ran as Vice President and I continue to stand behind her today,” Rimes wrote on Instagram on July 21.

Springsteen concluded his message by saying that Harris and Walz represent “the vision of America that I’ve been consistently writing about for 55 years.”

Vote Blue for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz

“Now, everybody sees things different, and I respect your choice as a fellow citizen,” he said. “But like you, I’ve only got one vote, 🗳️ and it’s one of the most precious possessionsthat I have. That’s why come November 5, I’ll be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Thanks for listening.”
