Barack Obama, Wife Michelle Endorse Kamala Harris as presidential candidate

Washington: Former US President Barack Obama and wife Michelle Obama formally endorsed US Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee.

Barack Obama said that he and his wife think that their “friend” Harris would make a “fantastic President of the United States”, informed in a tweet.

“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,” Barack Obama tweeted with a clip capturing a phone call between the US Vice President and the Obamas.

“Michelle, Barack, this means so much to me. I am looking forward to doing this with the two of you. Doug and I both… I just want to tell you that the words you have spoken and the friendship that you have given over all these years mean more than I can express. So thank you both. It means so much,” Harris said in response to the endorsement.

Kamala Harris has pitched in for the presidential race 2024 after US President Joe Biden dropped out of the race last week.
