Obama is set to endorse Harris for president in the near future

Former President Barack Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris have been in close communication since she announced her presidential candidacy. Obama has privately supported Harris and is planning to endorse her soon. They have discussed appearing together on the campaign trail to help unify the Democratic Party. Michelle Obama also supports Harris’ candidacy. Obama has offered counsel to Harris on setting up a successful campaign, considering his own experience running for president twice. While Obama has expressed concerns about Joe Biden’s ability to defeat Donald Trump, he did not publicly or privately urge Biden to remain in the race. Obama and Harris have known each other for years, with Harris supporting Obama’s 2008 campaign and given a speaking role at the 2012 nominating convention. Obama campaigned for Harris during her attorney general and Senate races. Obama views himself as a resource and sounding board for Harris as she navigates her high-stakes campaign with about 100 days until Election Day. He plans to be a fixture on the campaign trail in the fall to help Democrats move forward and unify the party.
