Barack Obama Endorses Joe Biden for President
---------------------------------------------

In campaign news, former President Barack Obama on Tuesday endorsed his
former running mate, Joe Biden, for president - with an appeal to
Senator Bernie Sanders's supporters.

Barack Obama: "If I were running today, I wouldn't run the same race or
have the same platform as I did in 2008. The world is different. There's
too much unfinished business for us to just look backwards. We have to
look to the future. Bernie understands that, and Joe understands that."

Obama's endorsement came one day after Senator Sanders backed Joe
Biden's bid for the White House, calling President Trump the most
dangerous president in the modern history of the United States.
