Barack Obama Endorses Hillary Clinton for President

President Barack Obama formally endorsed Hillary Clinton and called her the most qualified candidate to seek the White House, imploring Democrats to come together to elect her after a bruising party primary. “I’m with her. I am fired up, and I can not wait to get out there and campaign for Hillary”, Obama said.

In a video released on Thursday, Obama said he plans to begin campaigning for Clinton in the state of Wisconsin next week.

“I’m with her”, Obama said in a pre-recorded message posted to Clinton’s campaign webpage. “Obviously I value his opinion a great deal personally”, she said. I have seen her toughness.

President Barack Obama endorsed presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in a web video Thursday.

Obama also offered praise for Sanders, who earlier said he would work with Clinton to defeat presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump – but stopped short of conceding the race. Following the hour-long meeting, Sanders pledged to “work as hard as I can to make sure” that Donald Trump does not become president.

Clinton has reached the magical figure of having enough delegates to clinch the nomination of the Democratic Party.

The two will campaign together in Green Bay, Wisc., Wednesday.

“I thought Bernie Sanders brought enormous energy, and his new ideas and he pushed the party and challenged them”, he said.

Warren, 66, also has not ruled out running as Clinton’s vice president if she is asked – though she is not now interested in the job, Reuters also reported, citing several sources close to the senator.

Obama will certainly campaign for Clinton this fall.

But Mr Sanders told reporters afterward he would compete in the Washington DC primary next week – the final event of the 2016 primary season. “We will continue doing everything we can to oppose the drift that now exists toward and oligarchic form society where a handful of billionaires exercise enormous power over our political, economic and media life”, Sanders said.

Obama has now firmly sat on the scales to tip support in the Democratic party for Clinton.

The Vermont senator will head to Capitol Hill Thursday afternoon to meet with Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.), who has said publicly he should give up the race.
