Former President Barack Obama is expected to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris soon, as per a source familiar with the matter. The source revealed that Obama's team has been in contact with Harris' campaign in preparation for the endorsement.
Obama and Harris, who have known each other for over 20 years, have maintained regular communication. Obama has been providing guidance and acting as a sounding board for Harris throughout their relationship.
Following President Joe Biden's announcement that he would not seek reelection, Obama chose not to immediately endorse Harris. He believed it was crucial for the Democratic Party to undergo a legitimate nomination process where delegates have the opportunity to select their new nominee.
The source further disclosed that Obama is impressed with the start Harris has made in her campaign. He views her as a strong candidate for the Democratic Party and is likely to publicly endorse her in the near future.
