A source familiar with the situation confirmed this to Fox News, saying that an endorsement video from Obama will be released later this Tuesday.
The endorsement of Biden — Barack’s
vice president and running mate through two terms and presidential campaigns — will come one day after Sen. Bernie Sanders offered Biden his endorsement during a livestream on Monday. As we previously reported, Sanders ended his campaign for president last week, leaving Biden as the apparent nominee.
During the live streamed conversation between the two men, Sanders told Biden “we need you in the White House.”
“I’m asking every Democrat, I’m asking every independent, I’m asking a lot of Republicans to come together in this campaign to support your candidacy, which I endorse,” Sanders said.
The endorsement by Obama, who remains one of the most popular and influential figures in the party, has sparked mixed feelings on social media. While many people agree that it makes sense for him to endorse Biden who’s also his good friend, others think it was a wrong move. Check out what some people had to say about this news below:
