Bruce Springsteen tells him to join him.

Springsteen released a statement of support for the presidential candidacy of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz on Friday evening, November 1, to the music of his “Land of Hope and Dreams”.

“This election is about a group of people who want to fundamentally undermine our American way of life,” Springsteen says with a guitar from a rally stage in the video. “Donald Trump does not understand this country, its history and what it means to be deeply American.

“I want a president who respects the Constitution, who does not threaten our great democracy but wants to protect and guide it, who believes in the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power, who will fight for women’s rights, women’s rights. and who wants to create a middle class economy that will serve all our citizens.

“There is only one candidate who holds these principles in high regard, and that is Kamala Haris,” he added. “That’s why I’m casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz on November 5, and I urge all who believe in the American way to join me.”

The footage of Springsteen, and what he says, appears to be from two Harris and Walz campaign rallies that Springsteen attended on October 28 in Philadelphia and October 24 in Georgia.

“It’s no surprise that you support Kamala Harris because you love your country, respect women and aren’t afraid to let the world know what you stand for,” said a fan on Springsteen’s Instagram account.

Springsteen endorsed Harris on October 3 in a social media video filmed at Roberto’s Freehold Grill in his hometown of Freehold.

“Donald Trump is the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime,” said Springsteen of Roberto’s. “His disregard for the sanctity of our Constitution, the sanctity of democracy, the sanctity of the rule of law and the sanctity of the peaceful transfer of power should disqualify him from the office of president ever again.”

Springsteen and the E Street Band kicked off a Canadian tour with an October 31 show in Montreal. Next up, Springsteen and E Street play Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena on Sunday, November 3.

Earlier on Friday, Springsteen visited the set of the film “Deliver Me from Nowhere,” about the making of Springsteen’s 1982 album “Nebraska” in Rockaway, according to social media posts. He hugged actor Stephen Graham, who plays his father Douglas Springsteen in the film.

Jeremy Allen White, star of FX’s “The Bear,” plays Springsteen in the film, based on the book “Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska” by musician Warren Zanes.
