Bruce Springsteen Calls Donald Trump ‘An American Tyrant’ While Endorsing Kamala Harris

The 75-year-old guitarist, endorsing Harris as the best White House candidate, appeared at the presidential hopeful’s Georgia rally on Thursday. He argued that her competitor, Donald Trump, had a different agenda for America.

With the November elections just days away, stars like Bruce Springsteen have emerged to endorse Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz. The singer’s political stance comes over a year after his health scare.

Springsteen attended Harris’s Georgia rally as a performer, taking the stage with his guitar. He serenaded the crowd with the acoustic versions of some of his hit songs while sharing his thoughts about America’s future in between his performances.

The singer-songwriter stressed that Harris was the right woman to lead the country, claiming Trump was “running to be an American tyrant.” He noted the former president did not understand the U.S.A., its history, or what it means to be a true American.

Springsteen declared that he would only vote for a candidate who upholds the law, believes in the peaceful transitions of power, and a woman’s right to choose. In his book, only one woman fits the bill, and she has his full support.

The rock star wasn’t the only celebrity who sang Harris’ praises at the Georgia rally, with billionaire producer Tyler Perry echoing similar sentiments. The duo’s endorsement comes days after Eminem and Barack Obama made waves at Harris’ Detroit rally, per TMZ.

On Tuesday night, Obama and Eminem teamed up at Harris’s Detroit rally for an unforgettable moment. The Blast shared that a viral clip captured the rapper welcoming the former president on stage, who kicked off his speech with a joke, saying:

“I gotta say, I’ve done a lot of rallies. So, I don’t usually get nervous, but I was feeling some kind of way following Eminem.“

“I noticed my palms were sweaty. Knees weak. Arms are heavy. Vomit on my sweater already. Mom’s spaghetti. I’m nervous, but on the surface, I’m calm and ready to drop bombs,” Obama continued, rapping the first verse of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself.”

After the crowd’s loud cheers and screams died, Obama joked: “I thought Eminem was going to be performing, and I was going to jump out.”

Before welcoming Obama to the stage, Eminem shared his thoughts about the upcoming elections. He addressed the crowd as a Detroit native instead of a rap icon, noting the importance of voting.

“So, I’m encouraging everyone to get out and vote, please…I also think that people shouldn’t be afraid to express their opinions. I don’t think anyone wants an America where people are worried about retribution,” Eminem said, adding:

“Or what people would do if you make your opinion known. I think Vice President Harris supports a future for this country, where this freedom and many others will be protected and upheld.”

Over a year before his endorsement, Springsteen was forced to cancel his tour because of a health scare. The Blast shared that he was diagnosed with peptic ulcer disease, an announcement he dropped on his Instagram page.

“Bruce Springsteen has continued to recover steadily from peptic ulcer disease over the past few weeks and will continue treatment through the rest of the year on doctor’s advice,” the statement began, adding:

“With this in mind, and out of an abundance of caution, all remaining 2023 tour dates for Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will be postponed until 2024.”

The update noted that fans who had purchased tickets did not have to worry as the rescheduled dates for the postponed shows would occur at their original venues. Those who could not attend were advised to get a refund through the official ticketing companies.

Springsteen’s troubles began months before his health scare, with fans concerned about his well-being following a terrible fall. During a performance in Amsterdam, he tripped while trying to climb the stairs on stage and rolled onto his back.

The entertainer was still holding on to his guitar when he fell before the instrument was removed by one of his colleagues, who rushed to help him. However, Springsteen shook off his fall and began a new song like a professional.

Given his recent appearance at Kamala Harris’s Georgia rally, it is safe to say that Bruce Springsteen is doing great and ready to vote in the upcoming election.
