Former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign in a video released on Friday.
Barack Obama told Kamala Harris he “couldn’t be prouder” as he endorsed her to replace Joe Biden as the Democratic candidate for the US election.
Barack Obama was quiet after other top Democrats gave the US vice president their backing in the days after Joe Biden pulled out of the race on Sunday.
Obama also released a statement after Biden’s decision which suggested he was calling for an open contest to decide the Democratic nominee.
However, Harris and Obama released a video which shows her speaking to Obama and his wife, the former first lady Michelle, in a joint phone call in which they give her their support.
