Earlier this month, Springsteen took to social media to voice his support for the Harris/Walz ticket. He shared that what makes America “great” are values that Harris believes in — “freedom, social justice, equal opportunity, the right to be in love with who you want,” he shared, before adding that Donald Trump “is the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime.”
“We are shortly coming up on one of the most consequential elections in our nation’s history,” he explains in the video, in which the “Born in the U.S.A.” star is seen at the bar of what appears to be a diner. “Perhaps not since the Civil War has this great country felt as politically, emotionally and spiritually divided as it does at this moment. It doesn’t have to be this way. The common values, the shared stories that make this a great and united nation are waiting to be rediscovered and retold once again. That will take time, hard work, intelligence, faith and women and men with the national good guiding their hearts.”
Springsteen joins a long list of artists who have also come forward with their support for Harris, including Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Stevie Nicks, Cardi B, Jason Isbell, John Legend, Katy Perry and many more. See his full statement via Instagram here.
