Green Day‘s Billie Joe Armstrong has endorsed Kamala Harris ahead of the US election today (November 5), and shared an anecdote about performing in a casino owned by Donald Trump.The frontman took to Instagram last night (November 4) to encourage fans to vote for Harris and her running mate Tim Walz one final time before polls open.Before sharing a short speech, he posted a video of him and Elvis Costello performing an acoustic version of Costello’s hit ‘Alison’ in a Trump Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.“I noticed one thing, we’re on the stage, there was all these bottles of water that were on the stage and had Donald Trump’s picture on every single one of the bottles, like everything in that hotel.

And it was like, like, this big sort of ode, or, you know, Trump and his sort of bullshit businessman persona.“And so I went around these water bottles with a Sharpie, and I put Hitler moustaches on every single one of them.”A post shared by Billie Joe (@billiejoearmstrong)He added: “I just want to say, vote for Harris and Walz.

Kamala Harris is from the Bay Area, my wife’s from Minnesota, like Tim Walz is. So, you know, it makes perfect sense for us.

We’ve already voted. No, I’m not going to put a sticker on myself.“But anyways, yes, vote for Harris. I think there’s probably a lot of things that people disagree with, but the one thing that we do agree on, is Trump has got to go and we need to turn the page.“So everybody get out and vote and vote for Harris.
