Bruce Springsteen has endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 US presidential election.

‘The Boss’, 75, who appeared at a string of Barack Obama’s rallies during his election campaigns, joins the likes of Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lawrence as another celebrity Harris supporter.

He showed his support for the Democrat by posting an Instagram Reel in which he voiced his support for her in a video recorded at a diner.

Bruce declared in the clip: “Friends, fans, and the press have asked me who I’m supporting in the most important of elections.

“And with full knowledge of my opinions (being) no more or less important than any of my fellow citizens, here’s my answer: I’m supporting Kamala Harris for president and Tim Walz for vice president.”

Bruce added November’s US presidential election the “most consequential” in his life and said America has not felt as divided “politically, spiritually, and emotionally” since the nation’s Civil War.

The E Street Band frontman added: “At this moment, it doesn’t have to be this way.”

Bruce also slated Harris’ White House race rival Donald Trump the “most dangerous” candidate for president in his lifetime – adding:

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

He added Harris and her running mate Walz are “committed to a vision of this country that respects and includes everyone, regardless of class, religion, race, your political point of view or sexual identity”.

Bruce went on: “They want to grow our economy in a way that benefits all – not just for a few like me on top.

“That’s the vision of America I've been consistently writing about for 55 years now.

“Everybody sees things different, and I respect your choice as a fellow citizen.

“But like you, I’ve only got one vote and it's one of the most precious possessions I have.”
