As Election Day nears, more and more celebrities are endorsing either former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris, and a few stars have joined the candidates on the campaign trail.

Here is a look at some of the celebrities who have supported either Trump or Harris.

“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.
The singer also performed at a rally in Pennsylvania on Oct. 28, per Rolling Stone.
