In a significant development, former US President Barack Obama has thrown his weight behind Kamala Harris’ bid for the White House.
Obama announced his endorsement of Harris on Friday, stating that he and his wife, Michelle, believe she would make an excellent President of the United States.
In a post on his X handle, Obama revealed that he and Michelle had a conversation with Harris earlier in the week, during which they expressed their support for her presidential ambitions. “Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend Kamala Harris. We told her we think she’ll make a fantastic President of the United States, and that she has our full support,” Obama wrote.
This endorsement is seen as a major boost to Harris’ campaign, given Obama’s immense popularity and influence in the Democratic Party. The former President’s backing is expected to lend significant momentum to Harris’ bid for the presidency.
