At DNC, America's first Black president, Obama has thrown his considerable political capital behind Harris as she seeks to make history herself on November 5 as the first woman and first Black and South Asian person to be elected US president.
“Who’s going to tell him that the job he’s currently seeking might just be one of those ‘Black jobs’?” Former first lady Michelle Obama criticized Donald Trump during her DNC speech for his history of attacking her and her husband, drawing applause from Democrats.
Former President Barack Obama sought to recapture the energy of his 2008 run for office and lend it to Harris’ campaign effort this time around. “I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling fired up! I’m feeling ready to go,” Obama said.
The former president warned the crowd at the DNC that even though “the torch has been passed” to Harris, the work for Democrats is not yet done.

The call for Michelle to become a candidate in the 2024 race began soon after US President Biden withdrew from the race. However, Obama had already clarified about Michelle's intention to fight the elections in 2016.
