Bruce Springsteen endorsed Democrat Abdul El-Sayed for the Michigan Senate. Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images for BFI; Salwan Georges/Getty Images The Boss has thrown his support behind Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in the bitter fight for the Michigan Senate.
“Dr. El-Sayed is a fighter for our American Constitution, he’s a fighter for our American Democracy, and he’s a fighter against the corrupt, lawless, and anti-American leadership currently in the White House,” Bruce Springsteen wrote in a social media post on Monday. “That’s why I’m in his corner 100%.”
Springsteen’s post arrives on the eve of the 2026 midterms — Democrats have a generational opportunity to pick up seats as Donald Trump’s war against Iran, which has driven up costs of living and caused his popularity to plummet, hamstrings Republican candidates.

A vocal critic against Trump, longtime Democrat Springsteen released his protest anthem “Streets of Minneapolis” earlier this year in response to ICE’s brutal immigration crackdown in the city, and the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. In March, his Land of Hope and Dreams Tour kicked off in Minneapolis on March 31. “This was the show I wanted to make, the story I wanted to tell,” he told Rolling Stone in September. “I went out to find its audience, and I’m sure there were people, and I’ve read things where people were vehement about the content of the show, and that’s just the way the chips fall.”
