Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama have officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, providing her with crucial support from two influential Democrats. The endorsement underscores the historic connection between the nation’s first Black president and the first woman, first Black woman, and first person of Asian descent to serve as vice president. Harris, who has known the Obamas since before Obama’s election in 2008, expressed gratitude for their friendship and looks forward to campaigning with them ahead of the election. Other prominent Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, have also endorsed Harris, solidifying her position as the likely Democratic nominee.
