Neil Young Pens Endorsement for Kamala Harris: ‘She’s My Candidate’
“She is an honest forthright truth teller who is experienced in the White House, free from ambiguity or evasiveness, who goes straight to the point,” rocker writes of vice president
Neil Young has penned a resounding endorsement for Kamala Harris, detailing the reasons “why I love” the vice president.
“She is an honest forthright truth teller who is experienced in the White House, free from ambiguity or evasiveness, who goes straight to the point,” Young wrote on his Archives site Friday.
“Clear headed, young enough to hold the office for a couple of bright future terms, Kamala Harris is a good person who is unafraid to take on criminals and uphold the law of the USA. She’s my candidate for the future of this great country.”
Young added that Harris “will take on the billionaire class and make them pay their share of taxes. She will not owe them any favors. She is a kind, considerate American.”
Even without the endorsement, it was evident that Young would vote for Harris, given the rocker’s distaste for Donald Trump, who he called “a disgrace” in a scathing open letter in 2020 — “Your mindless destruction of our shared natural resources, our environment, and our relationships with friends around the world is unforgivable,” he wrote — as well as his long legal battle to prevent Trump from using “Rockin’ in the Free World” at rallies.
On Friday, Young — who finally became an American citizen in 2020, in part to vote against Trump — also encouraged his fans to “cast your vote for a beautiful future for your family. Kamala Harris for President.”
