Bruce Springsteen to appear at Kamala’s rallies in Georgia, Pennsylvania

According to Rolling Stone, Bruce Springsteen will appear alongside former President Barack Obama and at rallies for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in the battleground states of Georgia and Pennsylvania on Thursday and Monday, respectively.

The events, which will take place in Atlanta and Philadelphia, will kick off a series of “When We Vote, We Win” shows in seven major swing states in the final days of the campaign; The news comes at the same time that Eminem was announced to appear at a rally in Michigan this evening. Events are also expected in Wisconsin, Arizona, North Carolina and Nevada.

According to the report, Harris will appear at the event in Georgia, but not in Pennsylvania.

Earlier this month, Springsteen officially endorsed Harris in a video recorded at a diner in his hometown of Freehold, New Jersey. “Perhaps not since the Civil War has this great country felt as politically, spiritually and emotionally divided as it does now,” Springsteen said. “It shouldn’t be like this. (Kamala Harris and Tim Walz) are committed to a vision of this country that respects and includes everyone, regardless of class, religion, race, your political viewpoint or sexual identity, and they want to grow the economy in a way that benefits everyone, not only a few like me. It is also a vision of America that I have written about continuously for 55 years.”

Although Springsteen avoided overt political campaigning early in his career (even though then-President Ronald Reagan misinterpreted and tried to use the singer’s 1984 hit “Born in the USA,” which was actually about disillusionment with patriotism), he performed in endorsements of every Democratic candidate over the past ten years, including Obama in 2012 and Hillary Clinton in 2016, and he spoke at the Lincoln Memorial on the evening of Joe Biden’s inauguration in 2021.

However, Springsteen came out in support of Clinton only at the very end of the election campaign. asked Diversity In 2017, about his timing, he responded: “I don’t think I’m that important. And I still tend to be somewhat ambivalent about directly participating in political campaigns. I did it when I felt it was really needed and that maybe my two cents could make a difference. But the more you do it, your two cents turns into one cent, and then it turns into a cent, so I think the more you do it, the less your authority and your influence. Therefore, I did not dare to overestimate my strength in this area and usually come to serve when I feel that it is necessary and it can help a little.

“I thought (Clinton) would make a great president, and I still think so,” he added.

However, as the excesses of the Trump administration grew worse, Springsteen spoke out against him more forcefully, especially during his long Broadway residency in the late 2010s.
