Hillary Clinton Endorsed by President Obama

On a day where Hillary Clinton was endorsed by a number of important trade unions and an environmental group, she received one of the biggest endorsements possible from President Barack Obama. Clinton battled Obama in the 2008 primary and served as his Secretary of State from 2009 – 2013. In a video released by the Clinton campaign, Obama said, “I know how hard this job can be. That’s why I know Hillary will be so good at it. In fact, I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office.” Clinton responded on Twitter saying that it is an honor to have him on board. The endorsement video is below.

Honored to have you with me, @POTUS. I'm fired up and ready to go! -H
