Barack and Michelle Obama endorse Kamala Harris in presidential bid

Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama have endorsed Kamala Harris in her White House bid, giving the vice president the expected but still crucial backing of the nation’s two most popular Democrats.

The endorsement, announced Friday in a video showing Harris accepting a joint phone call from the former first couple, comes as Harris builds momentum as their party’s likely nominee after President Joe Biden’s decision to end his reelection bid and endorse his second-in-command against Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump.

Why do they think we care? Go live your $50 million dollar life while us regular Americans just try to be able to pay our bills. Hollywood and these elite ex politicians need to get lost.

I'm voting not based on color or gender. I'm voting based on what they can do for Americans. Not just say they are for Americans all the while funneling money to other country's.

Good grief, it sounded like 12 takes spliced together to create the cringiest fake call ever

[TheRealTomahawk]

0:23 she was about to say your wife, Michael Obama

[GothicTrunk]

I find Michelle saying "proud of YOU" a bit odd...did Kamala say she was proud of her first? 😂 The acting is terrible.

Curious why you have to use an old photo…? And it’s odd the way the audio of that spontaneous phone call sounds when Obummer talks…almost as if it’s not real

[mutantryeff]

Gee, that is like the two-stall outhouse endorsing the turds.

[lancecahill]

Endorsing Kamala Harris who had ZERO delegate the last she ran for president is not exactly a smart thing to do.

[ohiovalleypyro]

They didn’t want to before lol 😂 kw all of a sudden they do? Media lies lol

[goodnews]

Hello, no one voted for her in a democratic vote.

[dougbaldwin]

Harris couldn't run a Taco Bell never mind the U.S.A !!

[affliction]

He originally said he wasn't going to endorse her, that the democrats can find better candidate

[sandsintaufer]

Obama endorsed Harris by phone??? Through his nose? Hmmm…

[Christinschrader-hdio]
