Barack & Michelle Obama Throw Their Weight Behind Kamala Harris

Yonhap News

Barack and Michelle Obama have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. This support is a significant boost for Harris, who is set to run as the Democratic candidate in the upcoming November presidential election. Obama remains a highly influential figure within the Democratic Party.

Harris’s campaign released a short video showing Obama and Michelle Obama calling to express their support for Harris.

With Obama’s endorsement, Harris has gained momentum in pursuing the Democratic presidential nomination.

In the video, Obama stated, “We called to say Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office,” Michelle Obama added, “I can’t have this phone call without saying to my girl, Kamala, I am proud of you. This is going to be historic.”

Since President Biden announced his withdrawal from the Democratic presidential race, the Obamas have not endorsed any candidate. This delay led to speculation and light-hearted jokes suggesting that Kamala Harris had not received their approval.

Harris has already garnered widespread support within the Democratic Party.

Biden endorsed her on the day he announced his withdrawal. Other prominent Democrats supported Harris, including Nancy Pelosi, Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries have also endorsed her.

Harris has also secured the majority support of delegates ahead of the Democratic National Convention, which begins on August 19. She is expected to be officially nominated as the Democratic presidential candidate through the delegates’ online voting starting on August 1.
