Obama said he and former US First Lady Michelle Obama will do everything they can to make sure Harris wins the Presidential election in November.

In a post on X, Barack Obama said, "Earlier this week, Michelle and I contacted our friend @KamalaHarris. 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."

In a video uploaded by both- Obama and Harris, they are seen to be on a phone call when the former declared their support for the latter.
Obama can be heard as stating, "I can't have this phone call without saying to my girl, Kamala, I am proud of you. This is going to be historic. We call to say Michelle and I couldn't be prouder to endorse you and to do everything we can to help you through this election and into the Oval Office."

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."
