3X Champ Dawn Staley gives a shoutout to the Obamas over pro-Kamala Harris speech at DNC

Dawn Staley is all in for former President Barack Obama’s advocation for current VP Kamala Harris.

This, he feels, will translate to a better future.

"Good morning to the Obamas and the Obamas only…..hey @MichelleObama! Hello @BarackObama!," Staley wrote.

This comes after Barack Obama took the stage at the DNC, endorsing Kamala Harris for the presidential elections.

Barack Obama and Kamala Harris have been connected for over two decades behind her gripping of Obama’s fundraiser for his US Senate run in Illinois. Nearly four years later, she helped coin the iconic phrase "Yes, We Can!"—a chant that reverberated on Thursday when the Obamas took the stage.

Dawn Staley has been a long-standing supporter of the Democratic Party and its values. She has also vouched for Michelle Obama to run for president several times. However, Obama has maintained her stance that she will not contest for the Oval Office.
