Hillary Clinton looks forward to campaigning with President Obama

Washington, Jul 4 (IBNS): Democratic candidate for the upcoming US Presidential election, Hillary Clinton said on Sunday that she is looking forward to campaign with President Barack Obama, who pledged his support to the former First Lady of USA.

Tweeting a video of the President's pledge towards her campaign, Clinton wrote, "Looking forward to hitting the campaign trail together, @POTUS."

Clinton also took a jab at fellow nominee Donald Trump and said that the latter is fooling the people of America.

"Middle-class Americans thought Trump Institute would help them. In reality, it was yet another giant scam," she tweeted.

Earlier, US President Barack Obama had pledged his support towards Hillary Clinton and said that he finds her the most eligible for the Oval Office. In his official pledge, Obama cited examples from his personal encounter with Clinton.

The full text of Barack Obama's pledge:

"For more than a year now, across thousands of miles, and all 50 states, tens of millions of Americans have made their voice heard. Today I just want to add mine. I want to congratulate Hillary Clinton on making history as the presumptive Democratic nominee for the President of the United States. Look, I know how hard this job can be. That's why I know Hillary will be so good at it. In fact, 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. And I say that as somebody who had to debate her more than 20 times. Even after our own hard-fought campaign, in a testament to her character, she agreed to serve our country as the secretary of state. From the decision we made in a Situation Room to get Bin Laden, to our pursuit of diplomacy in capitals around the world, I have seen her judgement, I've seen her toughness, I've seen her commitment to our values up close. I've seen her determination to give every American a fair shot at opportunity, no matter how tough the fight was.That's what has always driven her, and it still does. So 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 and I cannot wait to get out there and campaign for Hillary. I also want to thank everybody who turned out to vote and who worked so hard for our candidates. this has been a hard-fought race. I know some say these primaries have somehow left the Democratic Party more divided. Well, they said that eight years ago, as well. But just like eight years ago, there are millions of Americans, not just Democrats, who've cast their ballot for the very first time. And a lot of that is thanks to Senator Bernie Sanders, who has run an incredible campaign. I had a great meeting with him this week, and I thanked him for shining a spotlight on issues like economic inequality and the outsized influence of money in our politics and bringing young people into the process. Embracing that message is going to help us win in November, but more importantly, it'll make the Democratic Party stronger, and it will make America stronger. Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders may have been rivals during this primary, but the're both patriots who love this country and they share a vision for America that we all believe in. An America that's hopeful. An America that's big-hearted. An America that is strong and fair, and gives every child the same change that we had. Those are the values that unite us as Democrats. Those are the values that make America great. those are the values that are going to be tested in this election. And if we all come together in common effort, I'm convinced we won't just win in November, we will build on the progress that we have made and we will win a brighter future for this country that we love."
