SUMMARY
Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential bid in a video released Friday. “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,” Obama said. Harris thanked the Obamas for their support, expressing gratitude for their decades long friendship. Michelle Obama added, “This is going to be historic.” In a joint statement, the Obamas praised Harris’ 'vision', 'character', and 'strength'.
