In a heartwarming campaign video, Barack and Michelle Obama officially endorsed Kamala Harris for President.
The former first couple announced the news on their X accounts, sharing a video that opens with Harris answering a phone call.
“Hi, you’re both together!” she exclaims. “Oh, it’s good to hear you both.”
Michelle takes the lead, saying, “I can’t have this phone call without saying to my girl Kamala: I am proud of you. This is going to be historic.” Barack adds, “Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office.”
Harris responds emotionally, “I just wanna 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. And we’re gonna have some fun with this, too, aren’t we?”
Barack stated, “We’re gonna be underdogs, you know, and you are gonna have to continue, as you said, to earn not just the nomination but earn the trust of folks all across this country. But knowing you as we do, we’re absolutely confident that you’re gonna be able to make it happen.”
Michelle added, “We’ve got to work now. All of us, you know. It’s time to stop wringing our hands, it’s time to stop complaining, it’s time for us to rally around you, your candidacy. This is not on you, it’s not just on you and Doug, it’s on all of us.”
The Obamas also shared a separate statement confirming the news: “We agree with President Biden — choosing Kamala was one of the best decisions he’s made. She has the resume to prove it,” the statement reads. “But Kamala has more than a resume. She has the vision, the character, and the strength that this critical moment demands.”
The statement continues, “There is no doubt in our mind that Kamala Harris has exactly what it takes to win this election and deliver for the American people. At a time when the stakes have never been higher, she gives us all reason to hope.”
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… pic.twitter.com/0UIS0doIbA
