President Obama has formally announced his endorsement to Hillary Clinton as the most “qualified” among the Presidential candidates to become his successor.
“I know how hard this job can be. That’s why I know Hillary will be so good at it,” an excerpt from what Obama said in a video posted on Clinton’s campaign site. “In fact, I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office.”
“I want those of you who have been with me since the beginning of this incredible journey to be the first to know that I’m with her,” Obama continued. “I am fired up. And I can’t wait to get out there and campaign with Hillary.”
Clinton tweeted after the release of the video thanking President Obama for joining her fight.
Honored to have you with me, @POTUS. I'm fired up and ready to go! -H

On the other hand, Donald Trump has tweeted:
Obama just endorsed Crooked Hillary. He wants four more years of Obama—but nobody else does!

President Obama would like to unify the Democratic Party. He has spoken to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders hours before the video has been released on Twitter.
Sander, after his meeting with President Obama, has announced that he will not leave just yet. However, he plans to meet Clinton in the near future to come up with a good, efficient plan to beat Donald Trump, Republican presidential nominee.
Obama was not only the high-value person that has given an endorsement to Clinton. Based on reports, Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren is expected to endorse the first female presidential nominee of a major political party.
