They couldn’t hold out forever…

The Obamas officially endorsed Kamala Harris for president in an early-morning message on X; the post went live at 5:01 am. In the clip, Kamala Harris is seen speaking to the Obamas in an obviously-staged moment.

“Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend Kamala Harris,” Obama said in the post. “We told her we think she’ll make a fantastic President of the United States, and that she has our full support. At this critical moment for our country, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure she wins in November. We hope you’ll join us.”

“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,” the former president says in the video.

“Oh my goodness. Michelle, Barack, this means so much to me. I’m looking forward to doing this with the two of you, Doug and I both. And getting out there, being on the road,” Harris replied.

Michelle also said she was proud of Harris.

“I can’t have this phone call without saying to my girl, Kamala, I am proud of you. This is going to be historic,” she told the vice president.
