Former President of US Barack Obama endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic presidential nominee, ending days of speculation over whether he would support her.

Obama and ex-First Lady Michelle Obama said in a joint statement that they believe Harris has the vision, the character, and the strength that this critical moment demands. r Obama was reportedly among more than 100 prominent Democrats Harris spoke to after President Joe Biden announced last Sunday he was dropping out of the race.

In a statement at the time, Obama praised Biden's exit, but stopped short of endorsing Harris. But after Harris earned the backing of Bill and Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, a host of state governors and the most senior Democrats in Congress – – as well as Biden himself – Obama has added his voice in what amounts to a major boost for the vice-president. The 44th president was joined by wife Michelle, the former first lady, in a phone call with Harris that was filmed and released by her campaign.

“I can’t have this phone call without saying to my girl Kamala: I am proud of you,” Michelle Obama says. “This is going to be historic.”

Barack Obama weighs in: “We called to say Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office.”

"We agree with President Biden," said the couple's statement, "choosing Kamala was one of the best decisions he’s made. She has the resume to prove it."

Smiling, standing near a vehicle, Harris replies: “Oh my goodness. Michelle, Barack, this means so much to me, I am looking forward to doing this with the two of you, Doug and I both. And getting out there, being on the road.”

Harris is almost certain to secure the Democratic nomination and would take on Republican candidate and former president Donald Trump in the race for the White House.
