Bruce Springsteen Endorses Kamala Harris from a New Jersey Diner



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 doesn’t 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 Trump’s 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 doesn’t understand the meaning of this country, its history, or what it means to be deeply American.”

And funny, too, for that matter. He had a great turn on Curb Your Enthusiasm this past season.

with fries at that place. They tell me the food is really good and I know this is his go-to place when he's in town. He lives "up the road" in Colts Neck.

I just ate there a couple weeks ago when I was up that way for the Sea.Hear.Now Festival, which was amazing. I saw the Gaslight Anthem and The Boss. Epic weekend!

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.

The new/re-furbished American Hotel looks nice so may give that a shot next time I want to go up there.
