Bruce Springsteen backs Harris in latest celebrity endorsement
Bruce Springsteen endorsed Kamala Harris for president today, calling her opponent Donald Trump the “most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime.”

In a three-minute video published on social media, Mr Springsteen spent much of his endorsement attacking Mr Trump, saying that the former president “doesn’t understand the meaning of this country” and has displayed a “disdain” for America’s democratic system.

Mr Springsteen said, by comparison, Ms Harris has a “vision of this country that respects and includes everyone — regardless of class, religion, race, your political point of view or sexual identity.”

He added that he believed her platform centred on growing the economy for everyone, and that her approach aligned with “the vision of America I have been consistently writing about for 55 years.”

‘I’ll always stand with Ukraine’

Kamala Harris now moves onto the influence of the US across the world.

She says she will “strengthen, not abdicate, America’s global leadership”.

Referencing a meeting between her and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, she says she will “stand with Ukraine and always will”.

“By contrast, in our debate, Donald Trump couldn’t even bring himself to say he wanted Ukraine to win the war,” she adds.

“A war that Vladimir Putin, a brutal dictator, launched against a free and independent people.”

She says the role of any American president “must always be on the side of freedom”.

Harris focuses on threat Trump poses to democracy

Kamala Harris asks the crowd who will uphold and defend the3 constitution of the USA, to which the crowd chants her name back at her.

She says she has sworn an oath six times in her career and has “never wavered” in upholding it.

“Therein lies the profound difference between Donald Trump and me,” she says.

“Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. And as you have heard and know, he refused to accept the will of the people and the results of an election that was free and fair.”

She says the “tragic truth” of the election is that there is a genuine question over whether one of the candidates will uphold the constitution or not.
