Bruce Springsteen Backs Michigan’s Dr. Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate Amid Haley Stevens Reversal: ‘He’s a Fighter’
"I’m in his corner 100%," the Boss said of the Democratic nominee.
In the race for the U.S. Senate in Michigan, Bruce Springsteen has come out in support of Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic nominee. In a recent Instagram post, The Boss shared his endorsement, stating that El-Sayed is "a fighter for our American Constitution" and "a fighter for our American Democracy, and he’s a fighter against the corrupt, lawless, and anti-American leadership currently in the White House."
The endorsement comes as the race between El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers heats up, with a Democratic victory in Michigan being crucial for the party's efforts to gain control of the Senate. This past week, Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens reversed her earlier support for El-Sayed and endorsed Rogers instead. As a result, the Michigan Democratic Party chairman Curtis Hertel announced that Stevens is no longer a member of the party.
Bruce Springsteen, known for his vocal political opinions, has been a vocal critic of Donald Trump. The musician has used his recent Land of Hopes & Dreams tour as a platform to express his political views, stating, "This was the show I wanted to make, the story I wanted to tell." Despite facing criticism for his political stance, Springsteen remains committed to his beliefs, as he told Rolling Stone, "I do what I want to do."
