Barack and Michelle Obama endorse Kamala Harris for president – video

Barack and Michelle Obama have endorsed Kamala Harris as the presumptive Democratic nominee for president. In a video endorsement, the former president and first lady called the vice-president to say: 'Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office.'

With less than 100 days to the presidential election, high-profile endorsements could prove pivotal in helping maintain the momentum the Harris campaign has had among Democrats since she entered the race less than a week ago
