Michelle Obama told Kamala Harris that the November election is 'going to be historic'

Democrat candidate Kamala Harris has been mocked for her latest election campaign video as the Vice President shared her double endorsement.

The Vice President, who replaced Biden in the campaign trail ahead of the November election, received a phone call from Michelle and Barack Obama to endorse her as the next US President.


In the new video, posted on social media, Harris seen answering a phone call from the former American leader and his wife, declaring their support.

Calling Harris "my girl", Michelle Obama told the VP that she "couldn't be prouder" to endorse her, and predicted a "historic" election battle against Republican Donald Trump.

Harris thanked the Obamas and said their support "means so much" to her, adding that they were "going to have fun" with the election campaign.

Despite the White House affirming that the video captured the "actual phone call" and was "not a reenactment", commentator Alex Armstrong claimed that the phone call was "clearly a set up".

Armstrong swiped: "It reminds me of that moment Meghan Markle gets this surprise call or text from Beyoncé, and she's like 'oh, my God, Beyonce text me!' It's ridiculous, it's clearly set up and prerecorded."

Host Nana Akua agreed with Armstrong, joking: "She never stops laughing. How many cameras were there? There's four or five different camera angles.

Sharing her thoughts on the latest Harris video, commentator Amy Nickell-Turner highlighted the significance of Michelle Obama and expressed how she "believed Michelle would step up" and run for the Democrats herself.

Nickell-Turner told GB News: "I was hoping, as I think a lot of people were hoping, that Michelle was going to step up because that would have made it mega.

"Can you imagine - someone who could actually take on Donald Trump?"

Discussing Harris's chances against Trump in the election, Nickell-Turner expressed concern for her "lack of connection" with certain voter areas of the United States.

Nickell-Turner explained: "I personally like Kamala, but I know that what I like does not translate into electorates very often. And I think the problem is, you've got someone like JD Vance, and he is everything that she isn't.

"And I'm not sure she's going to completely connect to that Rust Belt."

In disagreement with Nickell-Turner, host Ben Leo admitted he is now "concerned" for Trump and his chances of winning against Harris.

Ben told GB News: "I am the complete opposite to you. I was very big on Trump winning, and now I'm a little bit concerned.

"I'm concerned about JD Vance as well, he spoke for the first time at a rally the other day, and he wasn't that good. He tried cracking a lot of jokes, which fell flat. So I'm starting to get a bit concerned for the Republican Party and him slipping."
