Barack and Michelle Obama Endorse Kamala Harris for US Presidency

Barack Obama has officially endorsed Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for the US presidency, following a period of conspicuous silence after Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race. Michelle Obama expressed pride in Harris, calling the moment "historic". Obama echoed these sentiments, saying he and his wife Michelle "couldn't be prouder to endorse" Harris. Harris has already secured the support of a majority of Democratic delegates. The endorsement highlights the significant and historic connection between the nation's first black president and the first woman, first Black woman, and first person of Asian descent to serve as vice president.
