Obama, Biden Officially Endorse Hillary Clinton

President Barack Obama on Thursday officially endorsed Hillary Clinton as the Democratic Party presidential nominee.

His endorsement came after meeting Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who has been battling Clinton for the nomination.

Speaking in a video tweeted out by Clinton, Obama said she may be the most-qualified person "ever" for the role of president.

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren also endorsed Clinton on Thur0sday.

"I am ready to get in this fight and work my heart out for Hillary Clinton to become the next president of the United States," she told MSNBC, "and to make sure that Donald Trump never gets any place close to the White House."

President Obama and Clinton are set to start campaigning together soon.

"I want those of you who've been with me from the beginning of this incredible journey to be the first to know that 'I'm with her'. I am fired up and cannot wait to get out there and campaign for Hillary," Obama said in the video.

"Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders may have been rivals during this primary, but they're both patriots who love this country and they share a vision for the America that we all believe in."

Barack Obama is now in the game. In a slickly produced video endorsement, the president has thrown his support behind Hillary Clinton's bid to keep the White House in Democratic hands.

Obama and Clinton will make their first joint appearance together in Wisconsin next week. Before that, she's visiting Ohio and Pennsylvania.
