She said, “Oh my goodness. Michelle, Barack, this means so much to me. I’m looking forward to doing this with the two of you, Doug and I both. And getting out there, being on the road.” She thanked them and further added, “But most of all, I just want to tell you the words you have spoken and the friendship that you have given over all these years mean more than I can express, so thank you both. It means so much. And we’re gonna have some fun with this too, aren’t we?”

Presidential Elections 2024

With less than 4 months left to the US Presidential elections, a lot has happened lately. From former President Donald Trump’s near assassination during his campaign to a change in Democrat nominee to Kamala Harris, the US political system has been in turmoil.

After President Joe Biden stepped down from the Presidential Race due to constant pressure from his fellow Democrats, Vice President Kamala Harris took the command. While running for her campaign, Harris garnered a lot of support among the party members and voters. Within 36 hours of Biden’s withdrawal, the 59-year-old Vice President had gathered the support of her party.
