President Barack Obama endorsed presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in a web video Thursday.

“I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office,” Obama said in the video.

“I want those of you who have been with me since the beginning of this incredible journey to be the first to know that I’m with her,” Obama continued. “I am fired up. And I can’t wait to get out there and campaign with Hillary.”

Obama will campaign with Clinton next week in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

“It’s probably the first of many campaign events between now and November,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said, adding that no more campaign events are scheduled yet. Earnest said Obama recorded his video Tuesday.
