Regarding the Vice President, the internet appears quite convinced that the Obamas' endorsement contained hints of a potential Kamala-Obama ticket.
"I can't have this phone call without saying to my girl, Kamala, I am proud of you. This is going to be historic," Michelle said in a video post on X (formerly Twitter).
Barack wrote, "We called 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."
Harris' response has indeed confirmed that the Obamas will participate in the election in some capacity.
"I'm looking forward to doing this with the two of you," she said. "Doug and I both. And getting out there, being on the road. [...] And we're going to have some fun with this too, aren't we?" Harris said.
Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend @KamalaHarris. We told her we think she’ll make a fantastic President of the United States, and that she has our full support. At this critical moment for our country, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure she wins in… pic.twitter.com/0UIS0doIbA
