When Jon Bon Jovi endorsed Kamala Harris for president, he did it with a song.

Sharing his recent track “The People’s House,” featuring Michigan gospel and country duo The War and Treaty, he took to Instagram to make it clear:

He’s a Harris-Walz guy.

“The People’s House is a song that celebrates this beautiful place that we call home, from sea to shining sea,” Bon Jovi, 62, said in a post Friday (see below). “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.”

Doug Emhoff, the second gentleman from Old Bridge, responded to the endorsement with his own post, sharing a photo he took with Bon Jovi.

“It’s my wife, and it’s now or never,” Emhoff said. “Election’s coming in November. Thanks for supporting Kamala, @JonBonJovi!”

Tim Walz replied with a comment on Bon Jovi’s post.

“Thanks, man — so grateful to have your support!”

Bon Jovi’s endorsement is not exactly a surprise, given that he has been part of fundraising for the Harris campaign and has in the past openly supported Democratic candidates for president.

He joins his Jersey pal Bruce Springsteen in making an unequivocal endorsement of Harris and Walz.

“The People’s House” is a song from Bon Jovi’s most recent album “Forever,” released in June. Today the band shared a music video for the song (see below), which Jon shared a clip of with his endorsement. The video shows him walking and singing on a bridge.

In September, the Bon Jovi frontman helped a woman who was standing on a ledge of Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge in downtown Nashville.

He had been filming his music video when the woman appeared to be possibly attempting to jump off the bridge. Video shows him talking to the woman before helping to pull her back over the bridge railing, then embracing her.

The rock singer’s history of activism, along with his vocal struggles, vocal cord surgery and recovery process, is highlighted in the Hulu docuseries “Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story,” which debuted in April.
