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.

    All for debate, but maybe don’t go around devaluing the term fascism for fake internet points?

        Just because you’re bad at it doesn’t mean you’re not doing it.

          I wasn’t commenting on your assessment of what I was doing, just your assessment for the reason I was doing it.

            You’re not obliged to respond if you don’t have anything meaningful or interesting to add to this discussion.

              Well. Yah. That’s kind of a universal principal.
              People aren’t even obliged if they do have something meaningful or interesting to say.
              It’s their right to keep it to themselves, if they wish.

                  There are a number if accurate insults you could use. Verbose may be what you’re thinking of. I can’t deny that.
                  But vapid seems more like projecting.
