The music video for 'The People's House' featured the country music duo The War and Treaty, and the song was included on the tracklist of Bon Jovi's most recent album titled '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," The Hill reported.

He then disclosed his intention to vote for Harris and Walz. "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," he elaborated.

Jon Bon Jovi's endorsement of Kamala Harris divides Internet

Jon Bon Jovi's post endorsing Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz garnered mixed reactions from the public, who expressed their opinions on X (formerly known as Twitter).

One X user criticized Jon Bon Jovi, commenting, "Welp. You lost another fan."

The comments under the post echoed similar sentiments, with many targeting Jon's song.

"What do you do for a living? Maybe stick to that," an X user asked.

One asserted, "Absolutely love that you're voting for Harris. She'll make a huge improvement in our economy & cares about people."

"We e got Bon Jovi!!!," a fan mentioned.

"Thank you, some of us care about this country! I think you get it. They want us to forget the real America and think of it as some old religious dude's country -- NO WAY," another person wrote.
