BREAKING: Barack Obama, Wife Endorse Kamala Harris For US President

Barack Obama and his Wife have endorsed Kamala Harris for US President.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Former US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have endorsed Kamala Harris’ bid for Presidency.

 

In a one-minute long video that captured a private phone call between the couple and the Vice President, Harris expressed gratitude for the endorsement and their long friendship.

 

“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.

 

“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,” Obama said on social media platform X.

 

Responding, Harris said: “Thank you both. It means so much. And we’re gonna have some fun with this too”.

 

Obama, the first U.S Black president, remains one of the most popular figures in the Democratic party even after more than a decade has passed since he was last elected.

 

Harris is making plans to name a running mate by Aug. 7.

 

Advisers to former President Donald J. Trump said they would not commit to another debate, one they had already agreed to participate in, now that the Democrats have changed candidates from President Biden to Vice President Harris.
