Former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for President.

What’s the deal: In a one-minute video posted on social media, the Obamas said they “couldn’t be prouder to endorse you.” They also shared a brief statement, saying, “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.”

Kamala responds: In response, Vice President Harris said, “It means so much to have your endorsements, Let’s get to work.”

Update on the campaign: Recently, Vice President Kamala Harris secured enough delegates for the Democratic nomination and raised $126 million. She is reportedly considering eight different individuals as potential running mates, including U.S. Senator Mark Kelly, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
