Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic presidential nomination, following President Joe Biden’s announcement that he will not seek re-election in 2024. The Clintons emphasized that Harris’ election is crucial for the future of the United States, expressing grave concerns about the potential repercussions of a second term for former President Donald Trump.
“We are honored to join the President in endorsing Vice President Harris and will do whatever we can to support her,” the Clintons said in a joint statement. They underscored the urgency of the moment, stating, “Now is the time to support Kamala Harris and fight with everything we’ve got to elect her. America’s future depends on it.”
In their endorsement, the Clintons praised President Biden’s leadership, noting his success in guiding the country through unprecedented challenges. “President Biden has lifted America out of a pandemic, created millions of new jobs, rebuilt a battered economy, strengthened our democracy, and restored our standing in the world,” they stated. They expressed gratitude for Biden’s service, adding, “We join millions of Americans in thanking President Biden for all he has accomplished.”
The Clintons also highlighted their deep concern over the prospect of Trump’s return to the White House. “We’ve lived through many ups and downs, but nothing has made us more worried for our country than the threat posed by a second Trump term,” they warned.
As the first woman to secure a major party’s nomination in 2016, Hillary Clinton is now committed to helping Harris become the first woman president in U.S. history. The Clintons’ endorsement is seen as a significant boost for Harris’ campaign, reinforcing the need for unity and determined effort to secure her election.
Former President Barack Obama also praised Biden’s legacy in an official statement, although he has not yet endorsed Harris. The combined support of prominent Democratic leaders is expected to play a crucial role in shaping the upcoming election.
