Mr Obama and his wife Michelle have been slower to publicly endorse Ms Harris than other top Democrats, with the former president having appeared to call for an open contest.

Former president Barack Obama told Kamala Harris he 'couldn't be prouder' as he endorsed her to replace Joe Biden as the Democratic candidate for the US election. Mr Obama had so far remained quiet after other top Democrats gave the US vice president their backing in the days after Mr Biden pulled out of the race on Sunday. He also released a statement after Mr Biden's decision which suggested he was calling for an open contest to decide the Democratic nominee.

This is not on you, it's not just on you and Doug, it's on all of us… We've got to register, we've got to vote.... So, let's all roll up our sleeves and make it happen.' Ms Harris is almost certain to secure the Democratic nomination and would take on Republican candidate and former president Donald Trump in the race for the White House. The Obamas have been slower to publicly endorse Ms Harris than other top Democrats.
