Former President Barack Obama has publicly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president. The most notable holdout, he and wife Michelle said they had offered their backing privately in a phone call days ago.
What the couple said
“Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend Kamala Harris,” Obama said in a post tweeted on Friday. “We told her we think she’ll make a fantastic President of the United States, and that she has our full support,” Obama said on social media platform X.
The footage, featured in the tweet, captured Harris taking a private phone call from the couple.
“We called to say Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and to do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office,” Obama told Harris.
“I am proud of you. This is going to be historic,” the former first lady told Harris.
Harris voiced her gratitude for the endorsement and their friendship, speaking into a cellphone and breaking into smiles.
“Thank you both. It means so much. And we’re gonna have some fun with this too,” Harris said.
