Barack and Michelle believe Harris would make a “fantastic President of the United States”
Former US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama have endorsed US Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic presidential nomination ending days of speculation. Barack Obama and his wife said in a tweet that they think their “friend” Harris would make a “fantastic President of the United States”.
“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. At this critical moment for our country, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure she wins in November. We hope you’ll join us,” Barack Obama tweeted with a clip capturing a phone call between the US Vice President and the Obamas.

“Oh, it’s good to hear you both,” the US Vice President is heard in the clip.

The 59-year-old Vice President also uploaded the same clip on her X account. “It means a lot to have your support, Michelle and Barack Obama. “Let us get to work,” she tweeted.
