Former President Barack Obama announced his support for two Democratic candidates in Florida’s upcoming midterm elections via social media on Saturday. The endorsements, released in video format on the platform X, back David Jolly, who is running for governor, and Angie Nixon, who is running for the U.S. Senate.

The endorsements come during the final stretch of the campaign season, with less than two weeks remaining until Election Day. Obama’s involvement is intended to provide a late-stage boost to the candidates' visibility and momentum. While the specific content of the videos was not fully detailed in initial reports, the move signals an effort by the Democratic Party to mobilize voters in a key state as the election approaches. There is currently no information regarding the response from the opposing Republican campaigns or how these endorsements might shift polling data in the state.
