DUSHANBE, June 10, 2016, Asia-Plus – President Obama on June 9 officially endorsed Clinton for president, saying he was “fired up” for his former Secretary of State.
CNBC
reports that in a prerecorded video released Thursday, Obama latched onto the Clinton campaign”s slogan, letting his supporters know that “I”m with her,” and pledging to campaign for Clinton.
The president”s endorsement comes eight years and two days after Clinton did the same for him.
“I know how hard this job can be, that”s why I know Hillary will be so good at it,” Obama said. “In fact, I don”t think there”s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office. She”s got the courage, the compassion and the heart to get the job done.”
“I”ve seen her judgment, I”ve seen her toughness, I”ve seen her commitment to our values up close,” Obama added of his one-time rival.
Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren reportedly has thrown her support behind Hillary Clinton”s bid for the While House, just hours after President Barack Obama officially endorsed the presumptive Democratic nominee.
Warren, a popular figure with the liberal wing of the Democratic Party, told
MSNBC”s
“The Rachel Maddow Show” that she was “ready to get in this fight and work my heart out for Hillary Clinton to become the next president of the United States and to make sure that Donald Trump never gets any place close to the White House.”
The endorsement came despite the fact Warren shares a number of interests with Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders, who like Warren, has campaigned on curbing Wall Street”s influence and reducing income inequality.
