Obama Endorsement Boosts Kamala Harris' Presidential Campaign
ATLANTA — Former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama have officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for the White House, marking a significant boost to her campaign. The endorsement, announced Friday morning through a video message, features Harris receiving the news during a phone call with the former first couple.
The endorsement is a critical show of support for Harris as she gains momentum in her campaign. This backing follows President Joe Biden’s recent decision to end his reelection bid and throw his support behind Harris as the Democratic nominee. Biden’s endorsement, along with the Obamas' support, underscores the strong political alignment within the Democratic Party as Harris seeks to make history as the first woman and the first person of Black and Asian descent to become President.
Barack Obama expressed his pride in endorsing Harris and pledged their full support to help her win the election. “Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and will do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office,” Obama said.
The endorsement highlights the deep personal and political connections between the Obamas and Harris, who continues to build on her campaign's momentum as she faces Republican nominee Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
