Bruce Springsteen on Thursday said US presidential candidate Donald Trump was running to be an "American tyrant" as the rock legend threw his support behind Kamala Harris at a rally in Georgia.
"She's running to be the 47th president of the United States. Donald Trump is running to be an American tyrant," said Springsteen, who performed three songs for a cheering crowd gathered to watch the Democratic candidate speak in Atlanta.
"He does not understand this country, its history or what it means to be deeply American, and that's why, November 5, I'm casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz," he added.

He said he was at the Thursday rally to "oppose" Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance.
"I want a president who reveres the Constitution, who does not threaten but wants to protect and guide our great democracy, who believes in the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power, who will fight for a woman's right to choose, and who wants to create a middle class economy that will serve all our citizens," Springsteen said.
"There is only one candidate in this election who holds those principles dear: Kamala Harris," he added.
Springsteen, who has a reputation for his socially conscious, working-class anthems, performed tracks "The Promised Land," "Land of Hope and Dreams," and "Dancing in the Dark."
