The longstanding relationship between Vice-President Kamala Harris and former President Barack Obama has taken a new turn as Obama officially endorsed Harris for the Democratic presidential nominee. After days of speculation, the Obamas released a joint statement expressing their belief in Harris’s vision, character, and strength for this critical moment in history.
Obama’s endorsement comes after Harris secured the support of a majority of Democratic delegates, positioning her as the likely nominee at the party convention in August. The Obamas praised Harris’s record as California’s attorney general, a US senator, and now vice-president, highlighting her qualifications for the role.
In a video accompanying the statement, Harris is seen receiving the call from the Obamas, expressing her gratitude for their support. The endorsement comes as Harris continues her campaign events across the US, addressing issues such as gun control and education policies.
Meanwhile, Republican nominee Donald Trump has launched attacks on Harris, calling her a “radical left Marxist” and refusing to commit to a debate until she is officially confirmed as the nominee. Despite the opposition, Harris remains focused on her campaign, engaging in talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the Israel-Gaza conflict and advocating for a two-state solution.
