Harris will be the Democratic nominee for the presidential election slated for November 5, 2024. This announcement comes in the wake of President Joe Biden’s recent decision to withdraw from the race, prompting a wave of endorsements for Harris from prominent figures within the Democratic Party.
Former U.S. President Barack Obama publicly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, pledging his and former First Lady Michelle Obama’s full support for her candidacy. Obama’s endorsement was shared through a heartfelt post on X, where he emphasized the critical nature of the upcoming election and his confidence in Harris’s leadership.
“Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend @KamalaHarris. 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 wrote.
This endorsement from Obama, one of the most influential figures in the Democratic Party, is expected to galvanize support for Harris and strengthen her campaign as she seeks to become the first female President of the United States.
