Jon Bon Jovi's Election Day Message Sparks Backlash

Jon Bon Jovi is among dozens of entertainers who have thrown their support behind Vice President Kamala Harris in this year's presidential election, even performing at a rally for the Democratic nominee on Nov. 2. To celebrate Election Day, the Bon Jovi frontman shared a simple message of mutual respect to his followers on social media, but it didn't exactly go over well with some of them. 

"Every vote matters," the 62-year-old captioned a photo of him wearing an "I voted" sticker. He posed in front of a felt board that read "In a world where you can be anything, be kind." 

Fans on X were quite upset with Bon Jovi's endorsement and shared their thoughts in response to his "Be kind" Election Day message.

"You’ve lost your way, Jon. You have everything you’ve ever wanted, all thanks to the hard work of average Americans who paid for your concerts and music. Yet, you’re throwing the very people who made you under the bus. Trump 2024!" one fan wrote. 

"Nice to see a menopausal woman making her voice heard," another chimed in. 

"Tell us why we should vote for her. Maybe 3 reasons," another challenged him. "Maybe you need to go back to the family business."

Some fans aired out their disappointment in his endorsement under another video of him with Vice President Harris.

"I love you, Jon, but this woman represents everything that hasn't worked out in the world," one person said in Spanish, adding, "The world needs Trump." It was a similar story on an accompanying X post. "I am so disappointed in you. I used to love your music, but you can f--k off," one fan wrote, with another saying they "just threw four of his CDs in the trash." 

The New Jersey legend seemingly voted in his home state, which is expected to go to Vice President Harris with a nearly 20-percent vote margin.
