In a show of support for the Democratic nominee, former US President Barack Obama endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday, highlighting her economic proposals as ‘commonsense’ solutions for the American people. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Obama wrote, “Today Kamala Harris proposed commonsense ideas to keep our economy growing and working for all of us. She grew up middle class, and she understands what it takes to build an economy that lowers costs, creates jobs, and puts American workers and families first.” Obama’s endorsement underscores the significance of Harris’ economic platform, emphasizing its focus on affordability, job creation, and prioritizing the needs of working-class Americans. By drawing attention to Harris’ personal experience growing up middle class, Obama aims to connect with voters who share similar struggles and aspirations. His endorsement is expected to boost Harris’ campaign and attract further support for her economic vision.
