Former President Barack Obama endorsed his former vice president, Joe Biden, for president in a video message on Tuesday.
Biden campaign officials confirmed that the long-awaited endorsement was forthcoming.
“Joe gets stuff done,” Obama said in a live stream on Twitter, announcing his endorsement.
He continued to tout Biden’s agenda as “one of the most progressive” in history.
“We have to go further,” Obama said as he laid out several progressive policies he believes need to be implemented.
“Our country’s future hangs on this election, and it won’t be easy,” he added.
Watch the video below:
Obama’s endorsement of Biden comes just a day after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) offered his support of his former competitor, as IJR previously reported.
“We need you in the White House,” Sanders said, adding, “I will do all that I can to see that that happens.”
Throughout the campaign, Biden regularly touted his time as Obama’s vice president.
