He went on to say:
“Perhaps not since the Civil War has this great country felt as politically, spiritually, and emotionally divided as it does at this moment. It doesn’t have to be this way.”
In his concluding remarks, Springsteen encouraged the public to vote on November 5, 2024, clearly indicating his support for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

“He Doesn’t Understand the Meaning of This Country” – Bruce Springsteen Critiques Donald Trump While Endorsing Kamala Harris
Bruce Springsteen made headlines with his social media video discussing the need for a leader like Kamala Harris. On the topic of Donald Trump, Springsteen declared:
“Donald Trump is the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime. His contempt for the sanctity of our Constitution, democracy, the rule of law, and the peaceful transfer of power should disqualify him from the presidency ever again. He doesn’t grasp the meaning of this country, its history, or what it means to be truly American.”
This isn’t the first time Bruce Springsteen has voiced his political support. In previous elections, he backed Barack Obama and later the current President, Joe Biden.
Bruce Springsteen is not alone in his support of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Numerous Hollywood stars and public figures, including Jennifer Lawrence, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Charli XCX, and Mel Brooks, have also publicly endorsed the Vice President.
According to Deadline, George Clooney was among the first celebrities to back Kamala Harris, having penned an op-ed for the New York Times in July, stating:
“President Biden has demonstrated what true leadership is. He’s saving democracy once again. We’re all eager to do what we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic journey.”
The upcoming elections in the USA are set for November 5, 2024. While Joe Biden was initially slated to run against Donald Trump, he withdrew his candidacy in July 2024, endorsing Kamala Harris as his successor.
