Barack and Michelle Obama endorsed Kamala Harris for president, providing another huge boost to the now-presumptive Democratic nominee.

The former president and first lady threw their weight behind the presumptive Democratic nominee

Barack and Michelle Obama have endorsed Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination for president, sharing the news in a joint phone call.

A video released by the campaign suggests the former president and first lady called Harris on Thursday while the vice president was in Houston, where she addressed the American Federation of Teachers and received a briefing on recovery efforts following Hurricane Beryl.

“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,” Barack Obama is heard telling Harris in a 55-second video of the call.

“This is going to be historic,” Michelle Obama tells Harris.

    Donald Trump could very well roll over and die and I would be ok with that. The only downside is not getting to know that he is in prison being miserable

      The Heritage Foundation and its plan to cement autocratic fascist rule in the US will survive Trump.

        Which is why they got trump to pick Vance for VP, who is young and all in on project 2025, to be their chosen figurehead for the future. They don’t care about or like trump; they’re just using him as their vehicle to get in power and that’s it. After that they’re fine with/hoping for him to drop dead ASAP after the inauguration so they can usher in their full agenda. Meantime trump is only the symbolic figurehead and if by chance he doesn’t go along with their plans (unlikely), they can always use the 25th Amendment to get rid of him.

      Somehow he’d still have a voice in prison. Kinda like all those interviews with Ted Bundy and Charles Manson et al.

      His biggest misery would be to be alive and completely silenced.

        So a stroke.

        Well, he’s old as fuck and eats McDonald’s for most meals. I’m also not sure if anyone would notice, so there’s a good chance it would be a bad one.

      Donald Trump is 78 years old, that is not unheard of that people might die at that age of entirely natural causes.
