Over a week before his birthday, the former president and first lady offered their support to Democratic presidential candidate and current Vice President Kamala Harris following Joe Biden's decision to drop out of the presidential race.

The Harris campaign released a video on Friday, July 26, in which the couple called Harris on the phone and could be heard endorsing her.

"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 the video, as Barack added: "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."
