In a move that probably surprised no one who’s been paying attention, Bruce Springsteen has officially thrown himself behind Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

In a video posted on Instagram, the rocker wore a flannel shirt and was sitting in what looked like a diner, saying into the camera, “I’m supporting Kamala Harris for president.”

He talked about fundamental freedoms making America great and added, “Donald Trump is the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime. His disdain for the sanctity of our Constitution, the sanctity of democracy, the sanctity of the rule of law and the sanctity of the peaceful transfer of power should disqualify him from the office of president ever again.”

Springsteen said Trump “doesn’t understand the meaning of this country, it’s history or what it means to be deeply American.” By contrast, he said Harris wants “to grow our economy in a way that benefits all” before adding with an apologetic chuckle, “Not just the few, like me, on top.”

Springsteen said a more unified and equal country is “the America I’ve been consistently writing about for 55 years.”

Springsteen has in the past campaigned for Democrats, giving concerts and narrating commercials — including for Joe Biden in 2020 and Hillary Clinton in 2016.

In his video for the vice president, he noted that he respects others’ choices but said, “I’ve only got one vote and it’s one of the most precious possessions that I have. That’s why on Nov. 5 I’ll be casting my vote for Kamala Harris.”
