Bruce Springsteen described Donald Trump as “an American tyrant,” as he took to the stage in Atlanta, Georgia, at a rally in help of Kamala Harris.
The Boss threw his help behind the vice chairman and her working mate, and mentioned her Republican rival “does not understand this country, or what it means to be deeply American.”
Harris was joined by a number of well-known faces on the rally on Thursday, together with acclaimed filmmaker Spike Lee, and Hollywood star Samuel L Jackson.
After serenading crowds with an acoustic rendition of his track “The Promised Land,” Springsteen paused to handle the group briefly.
“My name is Bruce Springsteen and I am here today to support Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for president and vice president of the United States, and to oppose Donald Trump and JD Vance,” he mentioned, to cheers.
“Now, here’s why: I want a president who reveres the Constitution, who does not threaten, but wants to protect and guide our great democracy, who believes in the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power, who will fight for a woman’s right to choose, and who wants to create a middle class economy that will serve all our citizens.”
He continued: “There is only one candidate in this election who holds those principles dear.
“Kamala Harris is running to be the 47th president of the United States, Donald Trump is running to be an American tyrant.
“He does not understand this country, its history or what it means to be deeply American, and that’s why on November 5, I’m casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim waltz. I urge all of you who believe in the American way to join me, thank you.”
Springsteen then launched into one other track, “Land of Hope and Dreams” earlier than ending with “Dancing in the Dark.”
Harris has acquired endorsements from a number of different music icons, together with Stevie Wonder and Taylor Swift.
On Friday she is because of be joined on the marketing campaign path by multi-Grammy Award successful singer Beyonce.
