Bruce Springsteen endorses Harris – Washington Examiner
Singer Bruce Springsteen has publicly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidency, emphasizing his longstanding involvement in Democratic politics. In a video statement, Springsteen expressed that former President Donald Trump poses a significant existential threat to the United States, describing him as the most dangerous presidential candidate in his lifetime. He criticized Trump’s disregard for the Constitution, democracy, and the rule of law, arguing these qualities should disqualify him from future presidency.

Springsteen made these remarks while seated at a café, highlighting the importance of integrity and respect in leadership.
Bruce Springsteen endorses Harris for president
Singer Bruce Springsteen has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
The move didn’t come as much of a surprise. Springsteen has been involved in Democratic politics for decades. In a video statement Thursday, Springsteen said former President Donald Trump poses an existential danger to the United States.
“Donald Trump is the most dangerous candidate for President in my lifetime,” Springsteen said while sitting at a cafe. “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.”
“On the other hand, Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz 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 the few like me on top,” he continued. “That’s the vision of America I’ve been consistently writing about for 55 years now.”
Springsteen also went to lengths to say he didn’t believe his opinion was overly important.
“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,” he said.
Springsteen’s music has often included left-leaning messages. He feuded with former President Ronald Reagan in 1984 when the president praised Springsteen’s hit “Born in the USA.”
The singer was a vocal supporter of former President Barack Obama during his presidential campaign, and he has backed President Joe Biden during his time in office. Springsteen was also a vocal critic of Trump throughout his presidency, repeatedly questioning the former president’s patriotism and arguing he was a threat.
