President Obama officially endorses Abigail Spanberger via Bluesky...

I'm honored to have the endorsement of President @barackobama.bsky.social.

He knows how high the stakes are on November 4th â€” and he knows that every vote counts.

One rationale is to have the big endorsements come later for the most media coverage and to increase momentum around the candidate.
