A ton of celebrities have endorsed Kamala Harris (not least of whom include Taylor Swift) since her run for POTUS began. One of the latest is none other than The Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen.
Springsteen shared his endorsement in an Instagram video: “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.”
Now, Doug Emhoff — Kamala’s husband, if you’re out of the loop — grew up in New Jersey, so of course he was quick to jump in the comments. But the best thing is that the first thing he did was tag Tim Walz.
When Tim managed to get on Instagram and see the video, the Midwest Dad in him immediately came out:

Tim also left a comment thanking Bruce, and sharing that he’s a lifelong fan (because of COURSE he is, what Midwest dad his age isn’t?).
Of course, there are (former?) Springsteen fans in the comments expressing their disappointment…
But other fans are pointing out that a quick listen to The Boss’s lyrics would communicate his endorsement pretty clearly.
Other celebs jumped in to support Bruce’s message, like Kevin Bacon…
And Rosie O’Donnell, to name a few.
Anyway, all of this is just proof that Everyone’s Dad Loves Bruce Springsteen.
