Former U.S. President Barack Obama has publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential election. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, Obama announced his support, stating that he and former First Lady Michelle Obama had recently spoken with Harris and expressed their confidence in her candidacy.
“We told her we think she’ll make a fantastic President of the United States, and that she has our full support,” Obama wrote. He emphasized the importance of Harris’s candidacy at this critical juncture, pledging their commitment to helping her secure victory in November.
Obama’s endorsement comes as Harris begins her campaign and has vowed to address significant issues, including abortion rights.
