Obama and Michelle Endorse Kamala Harris for 2024 Presidency, Boosting Her Campaign

Former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential race in separate phone calls on July 26, 2024. The endorsements were made privately before being made public. During their conversations, the Obamas praised Harris' vision, character, and strength while expressing confidence in her ability to win the election. The endorsement came as a significant boost for Harris' campaign and was met with enthusiasm from her supporters.

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on July 26, 2024. The meeting came after Harris urged for a Gaza ceasefire deal and expressed concern over the loss of innocent lives in the conflict. During his remarks at the summit, Trump praised his three conservative Supreme Court appointments and the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Trump previously suggested a potential 15-week federal ban on abortion with exceptions in cases of incest, rape, and when the life of the mother is in danger. However, he was booed by the crowd at the summit after expressing his belief in certain exceptions to abortion.

The Obamas' endorsement marks a significant moment for Harris' campaign as she seeks to become the first female president of the United States. The endorsement adds to her growing momentum and support within the Democratic Party.

  • Deception (50%)
    The article contains several examples of deception. Firstly, the author makes no assertions of their own and instead reports on statements made by others. However, they do editorialize by implying that Trump's statement about Harris not liking Jewish people is a shift in the politics of bitcoin. This is an opinion and not a factual statement, making it deceptive. Secondly, the author quotes Trump making false statements about Harris without providing any context or fact-checking. The author also does not disclose sources for some of the information presented in the article, which is a violation of transparency and can be considered deceptive.
    • Trump says he ‘couldn’t care less’ if he mispronounces Harris’ first name.
    • Harris shares photo of her signing candidacy forms
    • The shift in the politics of bitcoin could be spotted elsewhere in the Nashville crowd...Brown, who publishes Tokens Magazine, a pro-cryptocurrency publication, was the most visibly pro-Trump bitcoin advocate at the Nashville confab.
