Former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama have officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election. LSU Political Science Professor Robert Hogan…
“As a former president, Obama didn’t want to be viewed in any way as a determining force, and was simply waiting until the delegates had their say in this process.”
Obama pledged to support her campaign against the Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump. This endorsement follows President Joe Biden’s recent withdrawal from the race and his endorsement of Harris, signaling strong party support for her candidacy.
“Democrats if they want nothing else at this point right now, is they want to defeat Donald Trump in November. They felt this was the best route to doing that.”
The backing from the Obamas is expected to significantly boost Harris’s campaign and solidify her position as the Democratic nominee t o run against Trump.
Lt. Billy Nungesser says if the election were held today Trump would win and Trump could get in his own way if he’s not careful.
“Unless he stops the negative…talk about about the things that matter to the American people and not trashing the opponent.”
Harris and Trump have yet to agree to debate each other, but it’s possible they could face off in September. Nungesser says Trump’s attacks against a female candidate will be watched closely…
“He’s able to say anything and I think that’s what has a lot of Trump supports on the edge of their seat. I think a lot of people would like to give him advice on that I’m just not sure he takes it.”
