Obama on board: Democrat Biden lands key endorsement in White House race
WASHINGTON - Former U.S. President Barack Obama finally endorsed his vice president Joe Biden’s presidential campaign on Tuesday in an effort to bring the Democratic Party together ahead of the election.
“Choosing Joe to be my vice president was one of the best decisions I ever made and he became a close friend. And I believe Joe has all the qualities we need in a president right now,” Obama said in the video. Obama “is a uniting partner in helping bridge this party after an intense primary and paving the road ahead,” said Democratic strategist Antjuan Seawright.
“Because he is so popular and the comparison between President Trump and Barack Obama is so stark, it will be such a unifying, motivating factor,” said Terry McAuliffe, a former Virginia governor and longtime party official.
