Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris‘s presidential campaign early Friday morning, becoming two of the most high-profile Democrats to support her bid after President Joe Biden suspended his campaign on Sunday.

Barack Obama and the Harris campaign had previously been in regular talks about the endorsement after Harris had received pledged support from more than the 1,976 delegates needed to become the Democratic nominee, a source familiar told the Washington Examiner.
