Barack and Michelle Obama endorsed Kamala Harris for president, providing another huge boost to the now-presumptive Democratic nominee.

The former president and first lady threw their weight behind the presumptive Democratic nominee

Barack and Michelle Obama have endorsed Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination for president, sharing the news in a joint phone call.

A video released by the campaign suggests the former president and first lady called Harris on Thursday while the vice president was in Houston, where she addressed the American Federation of Teachers and received a briefing on recovery efforts following Hurricane Beryl.

“We called to say, Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office,” Barack Obama is heard telling Harris in a 55-second video of the call.

“This is going to be historic,” Michelle Obama tells Harris.

    It’s you trying to both sides Genocide. Hamas committed genocide on October 7. You’re trying to normalize it by claiming Israel is also committing genocide.

    It’s not a numbers game. Israel is conducting a war with the goal to bring back the people Hamas is holding hostage (which is a war crime BTW). Hamas attacked Israelis on October 7 with the goal to kill as many people as they can.

      Hamas committed genocide on October 7.

      Lol, my dude. An act of terrorism is not the same as a genocide.

      You’re trying to normalize it by claiming Israel is also committing genocide.

      I’m pretty sure it’s not just me who thinks that, the ICC has warrants out for Bibis arrest.

      It’s not a numbers game. Israel is conducting a war with the goal to bring back the people Hamas is holding hostage (which is a war crime BTW).

      Yeah… That’s why they’ve primarily killed women and children? Also, genocide is most definitely a numbers game.

      Hamas attacked Israelis on October 7 with the goal to kill as many people as they can.

      And that was a bad thing… Right? So doing the same back, but killing several times more civilians is worse…right?
