This has been a huge week in the 2016 election. With the primary season essentially over except for the Washington, DC, primary, Hillary Clinton hit the magic number of delegates needed to win the Democratic nomination on Monday, June 6, and then won a majority of all pledged delegates on Tuesday, June 7--that night, she gave her big victory speech marking this historic moment when she became the first woman to be a major party's nominee.

But the week was far from over. Hillary has received countless endorsements, from politicians and newspapers to unions, organizations and everyone/everything else in between. But Thursday, June 9 was by far the most exciting endorsement day yet.

President Barack Obama has now endorsed Hillary Clinton for president! He did so in a three-minute video, which you can watch below:


President Obama: "I don't think there's ever been someone so qualified to hold this office. She's got the courage, the compassion and the heart to get the job done. ... I want those of you who've been with me from the beginning of this incredible journey to be the first to know that I'm with her. I am fired up."

This was just the beginning of what ended up being many more high-profile endorsements over the course of the day. President Obama's endorsement also went hand-in-hand with First Lady Michelle Obama's support:

What about Michelle Obama? "You certainly can interpret that video as a joint endorsement," @presssec says

Just a short time after the President's video was released, former Maryland governor Martin O'Malley, one of Hillary's Democratic Primary opponents, tweeted his support:

For the future of the country, I am committing my energies to the election of Secretary Clinton as the next President. #ImWithher

— Martin O'Malley (@MartinOMalley) June 9, 2016

The stakes are far too high for the untested hands of @realDonaldTrump. America needs a tried and true leader. Hillary is that leader. #2016

Then while speaking at the American Constitution Society convention, Vice President Joe Biden endorsed Hillary Clinton while talking about the Supreme Court: "In my view, it'll be Hillary Clinton," with "it" referring to the next president, of course. You can watch Biden's full speech below:


Along with President Obama's, the other highly anticipated endorsement came from Senator Elizabeth Warren, who did so on The Rachel Maddow Show:

This was a fantastic day for Hillary Clinton's campaign! There are so many respected political figures who are supporting her, and I can't wait to see all of them out on the campaign trail to help elect our next president.
