Springsteen has been vocal in his support for Tim Walz and Kamala Harris in the 2024 elections, opposing Trump. He also expressed concern about America’s division and the threats to democracy posed by Trump, whom he called the “most dangerous candidate for president.”

This criticism follows a similar stance taken by Robert De Niro at the Cannes Film Festival, where he also attacked Trump’s policies and called for action to protect democracy. Both stars have used their platforms to speak out against the Trump era and encourage public engagement in preserving democratic values.
