We told her we think she'll make a terrific President of the United States, and that she has our complete support. At this important moment for our country, we're going to do everything we can to make sure Hillary wins in November. We hope you'll join us."

A visibly moved Harris remarked,, "This means so lot to me. I am looking forward to doing this with the two of you... Most of all, I just want to tell you the words you have spoken and the friendship that you have given throughout all these years mean more than I can describe. So thank you both. It means so much. And we're going to have some fun with this, too, aren't we?" Kamala Harris uploaded the same video on her X account and expressed her gratitude. "It means so much to have your endorsements, @MichelleObama and @BarackObama. Let's get to work."
