Barack and Michelle Obama calmly support Harris, but 99.2% of Americans think she covered up Biden’s illness

One positive and one negative news for Kamala Harriss. The positive thing is that, very calmly, former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama gave their support to Kamala Harris in her candidacy for the White House, giving the Vice President the expected but fundamental support of the two of the nation's most popular Democrats.

The endorsement, announced Friday morning in a video showing Harris accepting a joint phone call from the former first couple, comes as Harris seeks to gain momentum as the party's likely nominee following President Joe Biden's decision to end her presidential candidacy. re-election and to support his second in command against Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump.

The support came well after that of the other party positions and probably occurred when his absence was a little too noticeable and gave rise to many, many, suspicions. It now seemed that Obama was not happy with the situation and was hoping for another candidate, as the NY Post had leaked.

Along with the good news, there is also some bad news: 92 percent of Americans say they believe Vice President Kamala Harris knew about President Joe Biden's apparent decline in health and covered it up, according to a recent poll.

A YouGov/Times of London poll of 1,170 registered voters was conducted July 22-23, following Biden's announcement that he was ending his re-election campaign. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.

When asked, “To what extent, if at all,” was Harris “involved in Biden's health coverage,” 68% said “a lot,” 17% “some,” 7% said “some.” ”, 4% “not at all” and 4% “don't know”.

Seventy-eight percent of Republicans, 73% of independents and 82% of self-identified conservatives surveyed said they believe Harris' involvement "in covering up Biden's health" is "a lot." 22% of Democrats, 31% of self-described liberals and 57% of self-described moderates agreed. So even 57% of the Dem electorate, and 73% of independents think that she lied and therefore could continue to lie.

This is just the beginning of the election campaign. Now comes the fun part.
