Barack and Michelle Obama Endorses Kamala Harris for President

Former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama have officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, joining a strong coalition of Democratic leaders backing her historic White House bid.

In a major boost for her presidential campaign, Kamala Harris has received the endorsement of former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, solidifying her support from the Democratic Party's most influential figures. This endorsement comes after a wave of backing from key party members, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, numerous state governors, senior Democrats in Congress, and President Joe Biden.

Barack Obama, who initially withheld his endorsement following Biden’s withdrawal from the campaign, has now thrown his support behind Harris, dispelling any speculation about an open contest at next month's Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

Highlighting this significant endorsement, the 44th president and former First Lady Michelle Obama participated in a phone call with Harris, a moment captured and shared by her campaign. The video shows Harris attentively listening to the Obamas on her iPhone.
