Former US President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have expressed their support for Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for the presidential election, joining President Joe Biden in endorsing her candidacy.

The Clintons expressed their support for Kamala Harris’ candidacy, stating that they believe her election is crucial for America’s future.

They also expressed concerns about the potential consequences of a second term for Republican Donald Trump, citing his past statements and actions.

In a statement on Sunday, the former first couple said, “We are honored to join the President in endorsing Vice President Harris and will do whatever we can to support her.

“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.”

Bill and Hillary praised Biden, who withdrew from the presidential race on Sunday, saying he “capped his extraordinary career of service with a Presidency that has lifted America out of an unprecedented pandemic, created millions of new jobs, rebuilt a battered economy, strengthened our democracy, and restored our standing in the world”.

They said, “By any measure, he has advanced our founders’ charge to build a more perfect union and his own stated goal of restoring the soul of our 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.”
