Bruce Springsteen Endorses Harris/Walz; Walz Responds Like a Midwest Dad

Bruce Springsteen Backs Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, Sparked Midwest Dad Vibes

In a surprising turn of events, rock legend Bruce Springsteen has thrown his considerable weight behind Kamala Harris for President and Tim Walz for Vice President. In an Instagram video shared recently, Springsteen expressed his support, stating, “With full knowledge that my opinion is no more important than those of my fellow citizens, I’m supporting Kamala Harris for President and Tim Walz for Vice President.” This sentiment aligns perfectly with the themes Springsteen has explored throughout his music career, emphasizing equality and economic opportunity for all.

Doug Emhoff, the husband of Kamala Harris and a fellow New Jersey native, quickly caught wind of Springsteen’s endorsement. He took to the comments section of the video to tag Tim Walz, playfully asking, “You seeing this?” It’s a classic dad-like moment that perfectly encapsulates the Midwest charm of Walz.

Upon discovering the news, the Minnesota governor reacted in true Midwest dad fashion, thanking Springsteen and sharing that he has been a lifelong fan. It’s hard to picture a Midwest dad who isn’t a fan of The Boss, right?

However, the endorsement hasn’t been universally embraced. Some individuals in the comments expressed their discontent, revealing their disappointment towards Springsteen’s political stance. Yet, many supporters reminded those critics that Springsteen’s lyrics have long championed the values he now endorses.

The chorus of support for Springsteen’s message has come from notable figures in the entertainment world, including Kevin Bacon, Mandy Patinkin, Chrishell Stause, and Rosie O’Donnell, further amplifying the endorsement’s impact. The overwhelming sentiment? Everyone’s Dad truly loves Bruce Springsteen.

As the 2024 election approaches, these endorsements only add to the rich tapestry of celebrity influence in modern politics. Whether or not you agree, one thing is for sure: Springsteen’s stance is sure to resonate with many fans across the country.
