Bruce Springsteen has lashed out at Donald Trump amid the 2025 US election, describing him as “mentally ill”.The 75-year-old music icon opened up about his thoughts on the Presidential race in a new interview with The Telegraph, and shed light on why he is backing Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.The Boss first pledged his support for Harris earlier this month, when he shared a video on social media naming Trump as “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,” he explained, adding: “Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are committed to a vision of this country that respects and includes everyone, regardless of class, religion, race, your political point of view, or sexual identity.”Now, in the new interview, Springsteen doubled down on his opposition to the former President and Republican candidate, just days before the election takes place on November 5.“On one hand, I’m not that anxious, because I do believe Kamala Harris is going to win,” he told the outlet. “Of course, I’ve been wrong before about this.

I think in the States, there’s an enormous anxiety, however, at losing the things that are dearest to us, the danger of losing democracy, rule of law, peaceful transfer of power.”Springsteen continued: “This is a guy who is committed to none of these things.
