As endorsements for Kamala Harriss run for president poured in over the past four days, Barack and Michelle Obamas voices were notably absent. On Friday, however, the former president and First Lady laid the speculation to rest when they wholeheartedly endorsed Harris.

In a video shared by the Obamas and Harris, the couple calls Harris to tell her that theyre with her. Michelle says, I cant have this phone call without saying to my girl Kamala: I am proud of you. This is going to be historic. Barack then chimes in, saying, We called to say, Michelle and I couldnt be prouder to endorse you, and do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office.

On X, Michelle wrote, Im so proud of my girl, Kamala. Barack and I are so excited to endorse her as the Democratic nominee because of her positivity, sense of humor, and ability to bring light and hope to people all across the country. Weve got your back. In his own tweet, Barack wrote, At this critical moment for our country, were going to do everything we can to make sure she wins in November. In a campaign email, the Obamas added, There is no doubt in our mind that Kamala Harris has exactly what it takes to win this election and deliver for the American people. At a time when the stakes have never been higher, she gives us all reason to hope.

Since Harris announced her candidacy on Sunday, shes received support from 200 representatives and more than 20 governors and 45 senators (not to mention Black women and countless celebrities). She has also raised more than $130 million. Now that the Obamas are securely in the KHive, Harris is as she put it in her phone call with the couple gonna have some fun with this.
