Barack and Michelle Obama’s endorsement of Kamala Harris for president marks a significant moment in the 2024 presidential election. The former First Couple’s support for Harris, released in a heartwarming video, highlights their decades-long friendship and confidence in her leadership abilities.
In the video, Barack Obama expresses his pride in endorsing Harris, stating, “Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you.” Michelle Obama adds, “I’m proud of you, Kamala. This is going to be historic.” Their endorsement is a testament to Harris’ vision, character, and strength, which they believe make her the ideal candidate to win the election and deliver for the American people.
The Obamas’ relationship with Harris dates back to the early 2000s, and they have been a constant source of support and guidance throughout her career. Barack Obama’s decision to wait until after President Joe Biden’s announcement not to seek reelection demonstrates his commitment to allowing the Democratic Party to undergo a legitimate process in selecting their nominee.
The Democratic Party has swiftly moved to nominate Harris, adopting rules to officially select her as their presidential nominee. Voting is set to begin on August 1, with a ceremonial vote at the Democratic convention in August. While the presidential vote will be conducted as a roll call, the vice-presidential vote is likely to be a voice vote.
The Obamas’ endorsement of Harris is a significant boost to her campaign, bringing attention and momentum to her bid for the presidency. Their support also underscores the importance of unity within the Democratic Party, as they work together to secure a victory in the general election.
In their joint statement, the Obamas praise Harris’ accomplishments, stating, “But Kamala has more than a resume. She has the vision, the character, and the strength that this critical moment demands.” They emphasize their confidence in her ability to win the election and deliver for the American people, saying, “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.”
As the 2024 presidential election heats up, the Obamas’ endorsement of Kamala Harris serves as a reminder of the power of unity and the importance of supporting leaders who embody the values and vision necessary to drive progress. With their support, Harris is well-positioned to make history as the first woman and first person of color to hold the office of President of the United States.
