Obama Endorses Kamala Harris for President, Says US Ready for Her Leadership

In a rousing speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Tuesday, former President Barack Obama wholeheartedly endorsed Kamala Harris for president, declaring that the United States is ready for her leadership.

“Kamala Harris is ready for the job,” Obama said to a packed arena of enthusiastic delegates and supporters. “This is a person who has spent her life fighting for people who need a voice. She sees you, she hears you, and she will get up every single day and fight for you.”

Obama’s endorsement was met with thunderous applause and chants of “Yes she can!” from the crowd, recalling his own historic “Yes we can” campaign slogan from 2008.

His wife, Michelle Obama, also spoke at the convention, praising Harris as “my girl” and saying that hope is making a comeback.

Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, also spoke at the convention, highlighting her qualities and saying she is ready for the presidency. “She brings both joy and toughness to this task,” he said. “At this moment in our nation’s history, she is exactly the right president.”

The Democratic Party is united behind Harris, and polls show she is leading Donald Trump in the November election. Obama’s endorsement is seen as a significant boost to her campaign, and his speech was widely covered in the media.

In his speech, Obama also criticized Trump, calling him “dangerous” and saying he is not fit to be president. Trump has been attacking Harris on social media and at campaign events, but Obama’s endorsement is likely to overshadow his attacks.

The convention also featured a speech by President Joe Biden on Monday, who praised Harris as a strong leader and endorsed her for president. Biden has been a key supporter of Harris’s campaign and has campaigned for her across the country.

Overall, the Democratic National Convention has been a success for Harris, with enthusiastic crowds and high-profile endorsements. She is now well-positioned to win the November election and become the first woman president of the United States.
