Former President Barack Obama has officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential election. Announcing his support on X (formerly Twitter) Friday, Obama, joined by his wife Michelle, expressed their confidence in Harris’s potential as the next President of the United States.
“Earlier this week, Michelle and I had a conversation with our friend Kamala Harris,” Obama wrote. “We told her we believe she’ll make an outstanding President and that she has our full support.”
Obama’s endorsement marks a significant boost for Harris as she campaigns for the highest office in the land. The backing of the former president could prove pivotal in bolstering Harris’s position, particularly among Democratic voters and those looking for continuity in leadership.
The endorsement comes at a crucial time, as Harris faces a competitive primary season and an uncertain general election landscape. With Obama’s support, she gains a high-profile ally who can influence public opinion and rally Democratic bases.
As the election cycle heats up, Obama and Harris’s close relationship and shared policy visions are expected to play a key role in shaping the discourse around the 2024 race.
