Bruce Springsteen attacks Donald Trump
He was at the rally to support Trump and his running mate JD Vance “to oppose”Springsteen continued. He wants someone in office “who reveres the Constitution, who does not threaten our great democracy, but wants to protect and guide it”. There is only one candidate in this year’s election who upholds these fundamentals, he continued: “Kamala Harris.”
The rock singer’s songs are often about the struggle of the working class; over the years, Springsteen has become a quasi-composer for the Democratic Party. He is one of the most popular artists in the USA and has also campaigned for Democrats John Kerry, Obama, Hillary Clinton and President Joe Biden.
Obama, the only black president in US history, remains very popular among Democratic Party supporters. “We don’t need four years of a would-be king, a would-be dictator running around trying to punish his enemies”said Obama. In addition to Obama and Springsteen, Hollywood actor Samuel L. Jackson and director Spike Lee also appeared in Atlanta.
Polls predict a close election outcome
At the event, Harris emphasized her roots in the US middle class in contrast to billionaire Trump and promised to make the fight against inflation a priority of her term in office.
Trump and Harris are running against each other in the presidential election on November 5th. Trump wants to return to the White House after his first term in office (2017-2021) and his election defeat in 2020.
