Vice President Kamala Harris has received a powerful endorsement in her quest for the White House, as Bruce Springsteen has officially offered his support. In a video shared on Instagram, The Boss also spoke about his distaste for Trump, whom he characterized as the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime. Watch the full video, where Springsteen speaks against the backdrop of a New Jersey diner, below.
My opinions are no more or less important than those of any of my fellow citizens, he acknowledged. Perhaps not since the Civil War has this great country felt as politically, spiritually, and emotionally divided as it does at this moment. It doesnt have to be this way.
The artist stated that he is opposed to Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance before mentioning social justice, equal opportunity, and the right to be in love with whoever you want as the things that really make America great.
Donald Trumps disdain for the sanctity of our Constitution and the peaceful transfer of power should disqualify him from the office of president ever again, he continued. He doesnt understand the meaning of this country, its history, or what it means to be deeply American.

(2,354 posts)I was floored that Monmouth University's dorms were right on the beach in Long Branch, where we stayed. The festival was Asbury Park. That whole area is so dog friendly! My dog came to the hotel, that diner, most restaurants... Pretty much everywhere except the concert. Federici's Pizza was amazing as well (up the street from the diner). They did not allow dogs... So we ate the pizza in a nearby park.
