‘See You on the Campaign Trail’: Obama Endorses Biden

I’m 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. And he became a close friend, and I believe Joe has all the qualities we need in a president right now: He’s someone whose own life has taught him how to persevere, how to bounce back when you’ve been knocked down. Joe has the character and the experience to guide us through one of our darkest times, and heal us through a long recovery. And I know he’ll surround himself with good people — experts, scientists, military officials who actually know how to run the government, and care about doing a good job running the government. And know how to work with our allies, and who will always put the American people’s interests above their own. For those of us who love this country, and are willing to do our part to make sure it lives up to its highest ideals, now is the time to fight for what we believe in. So join us, join Joe. Keep taking care of yourself and your families and each other. Keep believing in the possibilities of a better world. And I will see you on the campaign trail as soon as I can.
