It will not be the first time the iconic singer/songwriter has shown his support for the former vice president.

He has publicly lashed Trump as a "threat to our democracy." In narrating the campaign ad, which airs for the first time Saturday, Springsteen talks about Biden's blue-collar roots in Scranton, Pennsylvania, a battleground state likely to play a crucial role in the election.
