Roseanne Barr, Bruce Springsteen and Conan O'Brien urge America to vote

NEW YORK — Celebrities including comedian Roseanne Barr, rocker Bruce Springsteen and funnyman Conan O’Brien are reminding Americans to vote Tuesday.

Polls show tight races in several states as Democrats appear poised to wrestle control of Congress away from Republicans. Barr hopes the GOP find a way to keep the Senate, starting with Texas.

“For my birthday tomorrow- please get out and vote for @KenPaxtonTX,” the 74-year-old sitcom star posted on X. “I already fled California because democrats are the worst — I and not looking to flee another state ruined by them. You can not vote your way out of DSA.”

A Real Clear Politics polling aggregate shows Democrat James Talarico appearing to enjoy a 2.6 point edge in that highly competitive contest.

Barr, a staunch MAGA supporter, dropped a rap video called “Daddy’s Home” to celebrate sweeping Republican wins in the 2024 election.

Meanwhile, Springsteen asked voters on the opposite side of the political divide to elect Democrat Abdul El-Sayed to office in Michigan.

“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,” the 77-year-old “Born to Run” singer posted on Instagram. “That’s why I’m in his corner 100%.”

 

Polling shows El-Sayed holding a more than five point lead over Republican Mike Rogers in that contentious race.

Springsteen is a decidedly anti-MAGA activist who has engaged in public spats with President Donald Trump and protested his administration.

O’Brien, 63, just wants people to vote for someone based on his Election Day post on Instagram.

“I voted!” he wrote alongside a selfie of a sticker confirming that claim stuck over a lens on his glasses.

The late-night show host reminded registered voters that they can “text VOTE to 63033 to find your polling place or drop box” to make their opinion matter.
