US Vice President Kamala Harris has officially entered the race for the presidency in the upcoming November elections. This announcement follows a strong endorsement from former President Barack Obama and his spouse, who praised her as a “fantastic President for the US” and expressed their pride in supporting their “friend” as the Democratic nominee.
“At this critical moment for our country, we are going to do everything we can to make sure she wins in November. We hope you’ll join us,” Obama wrote on X.
After receiving the significant endorsement from the Obamas, Harris expressed her gratitude to Michelle and Barack, stating that “It means so much to have your endorsements.”

Is Elon Musk not pleased with Kamala Harris’ bid for president?
Before Harris’ official announcement, Tesla CEO Elon Musk took a jab at the US Vice President by resharing a video that parodies her presidential campaign ad.
The video features a montage with AI-generated audio, making it seem as if Harris is making various controversial statements.
Originally posted by Mr. Reagan (@/MrReaganUSA), the video starts with the US VP saying, , “I, Kamala Harris, am your Democrat candidate for president because Joe Biden finally exposed to senility of the debate. Thanks, Joe. I was selected because I am the ultimate diversity hire. I’m both a woman and a person of color.”
“So if you criticize anything I say, you’re both sexist and racist. I may not know the first thing about running the country, but remember, that’s a good thing if you’re a deep state puppet. I had four years under the tutelage of the ultimate deep state puppet, a wonderful mentor,” the video continued.
The morphed voice in the video continued by saying that Biden had taught her to “hide your total incompetence.”
“Another trick is trying to sound black. I pretend to celebrate Kwanzaa, and in my speeches, I always do my best Barack Obama impression. So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s tight. And okay, look maybe my work addressing the root causes of the border crisis were catastrophic, but my knowledge of international politics is truly shocking. The United States shares a very important relationship, which is an alliance,” it adds.
The video ends with remarks, “Republic of North Korea. It is an alliance that is strong and enduring. And just remember when voting this November it is important to see what can be unburdened by what has been. And by what has been, I mean Joe Biden. You think the country went to sh** over the past four years? You ain’t seen nothing yet.”
Sharing the video on his social media platform X, Musk wrote:“This is amazing,” with a laughing emoji.

Netizens show mixed reactions
Musk’s post drew mixed reactions from netizens, with some supporting Trump’s presidential bid and others criticizing the SpaceX CEO for targeting Harris.
“Is this AI or real,” one user asked.
“Finally, an honest campaign ad,” a second user wrote, while a third said, “Pray for President Trump to win in November.”
“You suspend Democrats for posting fake media, and then you do this? You are a lying, douchebag hypocrite. Your karma will catch up to you and that day will be GLORIOUS,” another commented.
Meanwhile, one netizen suggested that Musk should “not use AI generated voices to attack candidates. That just opens this all up to something far worse.”
