In a significant shift in the 2024 US presidential race, former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama have endorsed Kamala Harris for the presidency. In a social media post, Obama expressed full support for Harris, praising her as a “fantastic President of the United States.” Michelle Obama echoed this sentiment, highlighting Harris’s positive impact and leadership qualities, and urging supporters to back her in the upcoming November elections.
Harris, the current Vice President, has secured the Democratic nomination following President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the race. Biden, who has served two terms as Vice President under Obama, announced his exit from the presidential race due to mounting pressure and concerns over his debate performance and age. Biden stated that stepping down was in the best interest of his party and the country, allowing him to focus on his duties for the remainder of his term.
The endorsement from the Obamas is a significant boost for Harris’s campaign, reflecting a united front within the Democratic Party. The Obamas had previously supported Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden in their respective campaigns, and their backing of Harris underscores the high stakes and critical nature of the upcoming election.
