Barack Obama has endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic presidential nominee, ending days of speculation over whether he would support her.
Former President Obama and ex-First Lady Michelle Obama said in a joint statement that they believe Ms. Harris has the vision, character, and strength that the moment demands.
Mr. Obama was reportedly among more than 100 prominent Democrats Ms. Harris spoke to after President Joe Biden announced last Sunday he was dropping out of the race.
In a statement at the time, Mr. Obama praised Mr. Biden's exit, but stopped short of endorsing Ms. Harris.
