Presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris continues to make national news. Following President Biden’s exit from the 2024 election, he quickly endorsed Harris to become the new nominee.
Democrats will hold their convention in late August. It is during this time that the vice president is expected to formally accept her party’s nomination, as she’s already received enough support from delegates to do so.
As part of her efforts to reach voters, Harris has started campaigning across the country and holding different rallies. She even set up a new TikTok account, which has so far attracted a following of over 1.5 million.
Earlier this morning, the vice president’s campaign revealed she’s been endorsed by former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama.
A major boost for the Harris presidential campaign
Video footage on social media shows Harris speaking with the Obamas over the phone.
During the exchange, the former president and first lady let Harris know they feel “proud” to endorse her and assist her in winning the November election. On social media, the Obamas also put out statements of their own, highlighting their support for her candidacy.
