Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
Barack Obama and the Harris campaign had previously been in regular talks about the endorsement after Harris had received pledged support from more than the 1,976 delegates needed to become the Democratic nominee, a source familiar told the“We called to say, Michelle and I, couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and to do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office,” Barack Obama says in his video endorsement of Harris.
“Oh my goodness. Michelle, Barack, this means so much to me,” Harris responds to the Obamas during the taped phone call. “I am looking forward to doing this with the two of you — Doug and I both, and getting out there, being on the road. But most of all, I just want to tell you the words you have spoken and the friendship that you have given over all these years mean more than I can express. So thank you both.
The former president endorsed Harris after top influential Democrats, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer , and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries , threw their support behind the vice president.
In one of the most infamous moments between the two Democrats, Barack Obama was forced to apologize to Harris in 2013 after he called her the “best-looking attorney general in the country” during a San Francisco fundraiser with the Democratic National Committee. Some social media users took issue with the compliment, calling it sexist and demeaning, while others said the comments weren’t meant as an insult.
