Saying “I’m with her,” President Barack Obama formally endorsed presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in a video message.
The President also noted:
“I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office.”
The Clinton campaign responded to the President’s endorsement on social media:

Later in the video, Obama added:
“I want those of you who have been with me since the beginning of this incredible journey to be the first to know that I’m with her. I am fired up. And I can’t wait to get out there and campaign with Hillary.”
Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Obama will campaign with Clinton next week in Green Bay, Wisconsin:
“It’s probably the first of many campaign events between now and November.”
The former Secretary of State thanked President Obama via Twitter:
Obama just endorsed Crooked Hillary. He wants four more years of Obama—but nobody else does!
