Barack Obama Endorses Kamala Harris for US President
In a significant development in the 2024 US presidential election, former US President Barack Obama has thrown his support behind Senator Kamala Harris, announcing that he and his wife Michelle will be backing her bid for the White House.
In a post on his social media handle, Obama said that he and Michelle had called Harris earlier this week to express their enthusiasm for her candidacy. “We told her we think she’ll make a fantastic President of the United States, and that she has our full support,” Obama said.
The endorsement is a significant boost for Harris, who is seeking to become the first woman and first person of color to hold the office of President. Obama, who is widely respected for his leadership and diplomatic skills, has a strong track record of supporting progressive candidates and causes.
Harris has been gaining momentum in the Democratic primary, with her campaign focusing on issues such as healthcare, education, and climate change. The endorsement from Obama is likely to help her build momentum and attract more supporters in the coming weeks.
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, Obama’s endorsement of Harris is a significant development that is likely to be closely watched by political observers around the world.
