Obama Endorses Harris: A Unified Democratic Front

[Social Media]

 

In a significant political move, former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee on Friday morning. This endorsement arrives at a pivotal moment, just days after President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the race and threw his support behind Harris. The Obamas' backing solidifies Harris’s position as the leading candidate for the Democratic nomination.

 

Barack and Michelle Obama expressed their enthusiasm and unwavering support for Harris in a campaign email and video. “This week, we got a chance to catch up with a friend who we've known for more than 20 years. She'd had a pretty busy couple of days, to say the least. But we couldn't be more excited for her — or more thrilled to endorse Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for President of the United States,” they stated. The video showed the Obamas calling Harris to share their pride in her achievements and their commitment to supporting her campaign. Barack Obama emphasized, "We will do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office." Harris, expressing her gratitude for their friendship and support, responded, “We're gonna have some fun with this too, aren't we?”

 

The Obamas’ endorsement brings substantial weight to Harris’s campaign. Barack Obama had previously supported Biden’s decision to step down, acknowledging the difficulty of the decision but affirming that it was made with the nation’s best interests at heart. He said, “For him to look at the political landscape and decide that he should pass the torch to a new nominee is surely one of the toughest decisions in his life. But I know he wouldn't make this decision unless he believed it was right for America.” Obama’s endorsement is not only a personal affirmation of Harris but also a strategic move to unify the Democratic Party behind a single candidate.

 

Barack Obama has been a critical surrogate for Biden throughout his campaign, participating in fundraisers that set single-night fundraising records. His support for Harris now signifies a continuation of his influence in the Democratic Party. Obama has also served as a mentor and advisor to Harris over the two decades they have known each other, providing guidance and support. Michelle Obama, known for her popularity and effectiveness as a campaigner, is expected to play a significant role in Harris’s campaign. According to some polls, she remains the most popular figure in American politics, which could prove to be a valuable asset for Harris.

 

The Democratic National Committee is set to formally select its nominee in a virtual roll call ahead of the party's convention, which begins on August 19. Since Biden’s endorsement, Harris’s campaign has seen record-setting donations and garnered numerous high-profile endorsements, further solidifying her position as the presumptive Democratic nominee. The endorsements from the Obamas are expected to rally the party’s base and bring together various factions within the Democratic Party.

 

The unified support from the Obamas and other prominent Democratic figures signals a strong and cohesive front as Harris prepares for the general election. This consolidation of support is crucial for maintaining momentum and building a robust campaign infrastructure. With the backing of such influential figures, Harris’s campaign is poised to mobilize voters, attract funding, and navigate the complex political landscape ahead.

 

Harris’s campaign is expected to leverage the Obamas’ endorsement to highlight her qualifications, vision, and readiness to lead the nation. The endorsement serves as a testament to Harris’s capabilities and her alignment with the values and goals of the Democratic Party. As the campaign progresses, the focus will be on uniting the party, reaching out to undecided voters, and countering the opposition’s narrative.

 

The support from the Obamas underscores the importance of continuity and stability in leadership, especially in a time of political and social challenges. Their endorsement reflects a commitment to building on the progress made during their administration and ensuring that the Democratic Party remains focused on its core principles and objectives. Harris, with her experience, vision, and dedication, is presented as the candidate best suited to carry forward this legacy.

 

As the Democratic National Committee prepares for the convention and the official nomination process, the focus will be on consolidating support, finalizing the campaign strategy, and preparing for the general election. The endorsement from the Obamas marks a significant milestone in Harris’s campaign, signaling a unified and determined Democratic Party ready to take on the challenges ahead and work towards victory in the upcoming election.

Excellent!!

It is quite surprising how well the dems organized, and how quickly this all came together, after Biden gracefully bowed out. It seems to have taken Trump and the GOP off guard. Then again, Trump has never been very good at thinking on his feet. He lacks creativity, and shoots himself in the foot, when he goes off script.

 

This is the beginning of the end for him. I predict a second election loss, and we all know that would crush him, and eliminate his toxic family from future politics. And the planet would celebrate such an event, with glee.

May be it was plan " B " in case Biden steps down .

Or , all was designed to be like that from the beginning ...?

Trump became too popular after the failed assassination attempt .

Now the Trump team needs a new strategy with not a lot of time left ...

 

Intelligent , pre-planned move , or just the opportunistic " jump on the occasion " ?

 

We will never be 100% sure of that , but all indicates that it was not anticipated .

I rather like the idea of it being a bait and switch.

 

I doubt very much it was, but the thought of the lifelong conman Donald Trump falling for a bait and switch is too pleasant to let go.

   Great!  Now it really needs to be all hands on deck for all the democratic stars,  full-tilt campaigning everywhere, especially the swing states, and encouraging voter registration and early mail-in voting.  No let-up until election day.   This election is just so important.

Absolutely! As I predicted, Trump is running away from the debate as if it were a healthy entree or the unvarnished truth. 

 

We need more appearances by JD Vance to outline his vision for America and women's place in it. Who knew he was so flexible that he had the ability to insert both of his feet into his mouth simultaneously? The man is a treasure, and the only good thing I think that Don Jr. has ever done is recommend him to the Old Man to be VP. Thanks Don Jr!

 

And we surely need more video of the two candidates and their competing visions, appearances and elocution. This is going to be a landslide, and the opposite direction of what it would have been had Biden not stepped down.

 

Was it planned or did it somehow just all come together? I suspect the latter rather than the former, since I haven't really seen the Democrats demonstrate much of an ability to take initiative and make bold moves in politics in the last decade. That's why there are so many fragile old folks in charge from Biden to Schumer to Pelosi, and how they managed to keep losing elections they should have won by continuously ignoring the post-Boomer generations who are their main voting base. Now that it's been forced upon them, those generations are going to remake America (finally!) into the social democracy that it's destined to become. I salute the good work they did to keep the flame alive and fend off the Fascists, but their job is done and it's time for them to fade into the background and play peekaboo with their grandkids.

The GOP has same opportunity or not? Find cause to bow Trump out and endorse Vance to replace?

Kamala Harris laughing would be drowned out by the global population in hysterical mirth.

Despite usual caution you have  gone full MAGA  I think.

My comment was totally related to the topic of Obama endorsing her campaign in opposition to TRUMP.

right now the dems are acting more despicable than he is. i find them all pathetic snakes to be honest. its the hypocrisy and lies from the dems that irks me in context to what has happened in the last few weeks. standing on moral ground while a huge lie was thrown on the american public. 

 

also tired of daily watching the bias against trump on here in regards to language used. censorship gone one way really. i remember a few years back i was moderated and banned from here for calling trump the dancing orange monkey. what i said is baby speak compared to the things he is called on here daily. 

 

shoot a few weeks ago you had people calling for him to be waterboarded and shot. and yet trump is the one flaming violence and anti america ?

 

i don't recall people on here calling for biden to be shot or waterboarded or any of the other vile things that were said. i recall them saying biden was too old and not mentally fit. for which they were ridiculed and attacked.  including myself. people attacked others for no reason other than ones own personal politically driven ideology. for something that ended up being 100 percent true.

I gave you a like on this post. Not because I agree with all you state but because you have provided a reasonably expansive opinion with associated historical basis.

Unfortunately I genuinely believe Trump via the GOP has generated and established a mindless cult following to supersede cognitive informed political opinion.

Sadly I also think Trump has been enabled and manipulated to believe in his own justification for being above and beyond common law.

However, I wouldn’t bet on Vance lasting.
