Former U.S. President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary, have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to represent the Democrats in the upcoming November presidential election.
In a statement on Sunday via his X account, Clinton remarked that President Joe Biden had capped his extraordinary career of service with a presidency that lifted America out of an unprecedented pandemic, created millions of new jobs, rebuilt a battered economy, strengthened democracy, and restored America’s standing in the world.
He noted that by any measure, he had advanced the founders’ charge to build a more perfect union and his own stated goal of restoring the soul of the nation.
“We join millions of Americans in thanking President Biden for all he has accomplished, standing up for America time and again, with his North Star always being what’s best for the country.
“We are honored to join the President in endorsing Vice President Harris and will do whatever we can to support her,” Clinton said.
Clinton added: “We’ve lived through many ups and downs, but nothing has made us more worried for our country than the threat posed by a second Trump term.
“He has promised to be a dictator on day one, and the recent ruling by his servile Supreme Court will only embolden him to further shred the Constitution.
“Now is the time to support Kamala Harris and fight with everything we’ve got to elect her. America’s future depends on it.”
