Barack and Michelle Obama Finally Endorse Harris But Warn: ‘We’re Underdogs’
Barack and Michelle Obama have endorsed Kamala Harris for president, saying in a spot released by her campaign early Friday that they “couldn’t be prouder” to help propel her to victory.
The 55-second ad sees Harris taking a call from the Obamas while seemingly walking backstage at a campaign event. Obama’s distinctive voice breaks in over the phone immediately: “Kamala!”
After Michelle greets her as well, the video cuts to a title card—“The Obamas Call Kamala”—before shifting to show the vice president standing in front of a black SUV. Holding the phone to her ear with the speakerphone button visibly on, Harris says, “It’s good to hear you both.”
