Obama guest-posts on Hillary Clinton’s Instagram

President Obama was on the campaign trail with Hillary Clinton Tuesday, and took to social media to remind everyone who he supports in this year’s upcoming presidential election.

“Hello, Instagram! It’s President Obama. Really! I’m excited to hit the trail with Hillary today in Charlotte, and I’m taking over her account to share a few thoughts with you about the stakes in this race, and why I think she’d make a great president,” Obama posted from Clinton’s Instagram account Tuesday afternoon. A picture of the two of them disembarking from Air Force One accompanied his message.

The president added that he hopes her followers, all 1.4 million of them, will “follow along” as he posts throughout the day.

“I’m feeling pretty fired up,” Obama wrote, signing it in his official social media signature, “-bo.”

Clinton and Obama are holding a rally at the Charlotte Convention Center later on Tuesday.


Obama endorsed the former secretary of state in early June, saying, “I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office.”
