Obama endorses Biden

Former President Obama endorsed Joe Biden for president on Tuesday, giving his former vice president a powerful surrogate and fundraiser as he heads into the general election against President Trump.
In a video from his home, Obama said that Biden is the best leader for the country during a health and economic crisis brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.
If theres one thing weve learned as a country from moments of great crisis, its that the spirit of looking out for one another cant be restricted to our homes or our work places or our neighborhoods or houses of worship, it also has to be reflected in our national government, Obama said.
The kind of leadership thats guided by knowledge and experience, honesty and humility, empathy and grace. That kind of leadership doesnt just belong in our state capitols and legislatures, it belongs in the White House, and thats why Im so proud to endorse Joe Biden for president of the United States.
Obamas endorsement is not a surprise: He and Biden have a close friendship that has endured beyond their time in the White House together.
The former president had decided to stay on the sidelines during the competitive Democratic primary, which at one point featured 24 White House hopefuls, in an effort to not give the appearance that he was putting his thumb on the scale for any one candidate.........................

It belongs in the White House.
Thats why Im so proud to endorse Joe Biden for President of the United States.
Choosing Joe to be my Vice President was one of the best decisions I ever made. Hes got the character and the experience to guide us through one of our darkest times and heal us through a long recovery. And hell surround himself with good people experts, scientists, and military officials who actually know how to run the government, work with our allies, and always put the American peoples interests above their own.
Right now, we need Americans of goodwill to unite in a great awakening against a politics that too often has been characterized by corruption, carelessness, self-dealing, disinformation, ignorance, and meanness. And to change that, we need Americans of all political stripes to get involved in our politics and public life like never before.
For those of us who believe in building a more just, more generous, more democratic America where everybody has a fair shot at opportunity, who believe in a government that cares about the many, and not just the few, who love this country and are willing to do our part to make sure it lives up to its highest ideals nows the time to fight for what we believe in.
And Ive got a lot more to say about why Joe should be President in the video. I hope you give it a watch. Then I hope youll join us at JoeBiden.com and make a plan for how youre going to get involved.
