Jon Bon Jovi has expressed his support for U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in the upcoming presidential election. The singer-songwriter made the announcement by sharing a snippet from the music video of his single The People's House on his social media accounts on October 11, 2024.
The music video for The People's House also featured country music duo The War and Treaty, and the song was included in Jon's latest album Forever, which was released in June of this year.
The Grammy-winning artist described The People's House as a song that "celebrates this beautiful place that we call home."
He then shared his decision to vote for Harris and Walz, stating: "The truth matters. And the truth is on election day I'll be voting for @KamalaHarris and @TimWalz because I believe in the power of we, not of me. I've written a song reminding us that out of many, we are still one."
The post received mixed reactions from the public, with users on X (formerly Twitter) sharing their thoughts in the comments. One user criticized Jon Bon Jovi, saying he had "lost a fan."
Similar reactions followed, with others criticizing the song itself.
"Wow! That song is awful. Bon Jovi really lost his ability to make good music. This is going to help Trump so much, and cost you 75% of your fans," another user commented.
On the flip side, some individuals expressed support for Jon's choice to back Kamala Harris.
"Absolutely love that you're voting for Harris. She'll make a huge improvement in our economy & cares about people," one X user wrote.
"We got Bon Jovi!!!," another user mentioned.
"Thank you, some of us care about this country! I think you get it," wrote another person on X.
Many users, however, argued that artists should stay out of politics, criticizing the 60-year-old star for his involvement in the political sphere.
