BARACK AND MICHELLE OBAMA ENDORSE KAMALA HARRIS AS DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE
Former US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama have now confirmed their full support for Vice President Kamala Harris to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination.
The Obamas communicated the endorsement in a personal call to Harris, outlining their full support for her candidacy.
It was on X that Barack Obama came out to express his belief in Harris’s potential as President. “Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend Kamala Harris. We told her we think she’ll make a fantastic President of the United States, and that she has our full support. At this critical moment for our country, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure she wins in November. We hope you’ll join us,” Obama said.
The endorsement underscored the power and muscle that Harris now wields in her quest for the presidency.
Michelle Obama also came out to air her views on Harris, speaking about her personal attributes and why they support her. “I am so proud of my girl, Kamala.”. Barack and I are so inspired by her, and we can’t wait to see her announced as the Democratic nominee. Here’s to a leader who will bring joy, love, and immense light and hope to all those around our nation. We’ve got your back, @KamalaHarris! ” Michelle tweeted.
It points out the endorsement focuses on the character of Harris, and the kind of positive actions she is expected to bring into the nation. Kamala Harris expressed her gratitude and excitement about the campaign. “This means so much to me. I am looking forward to doing this with the two of you. Doug and I both are looking forward to hitting the campaign trail and getting out there.”. Of more than anything else, I would like to say that these spoken words and this extended friendship over all these years, as I stand before you, mean more than I am able to express.
Thank you so much, and we’re going to have fun with this too,” Harris said.
The Obamas’ endorsement will also give impetus to Harris’ campaign at a time when the field of potentials is huge, and she faces a stiff contest this election time. For her, it is not the endorsement alone; it is the signal of solidarity to take back the presidency again this year.
