BREAKING: Obama endorses his ‘friend’ Trudeau, wishes him luck in upcoming election

"Justin has been an effective leader and strong voice for democratic values, and I'm proud of the work we did together," Obama wrote in a post.

The endorsement isn’t the first of its kind for Obama, as he made a similar endorsement for Trudeau in 2019. Obama also endorsed now-President of France Emmanuel Macron during his 2017 campaign against National Front Leader Marine Le Pen.

“I’m not planning on getting involved in too many elections now that I don't have to run for office again,” said Obama in the May 2017 post endorsing Macron.

As pointed out by several outlets during his first endorsement of a candidate in a foreign election, giving the nod in this nature is highly unusual, as incidents of such nature are few and far between.

With the election less than a week away, the nod seeks to boost Prime Minister Trudeau's numbers, which have been in a statistical dead-heat since the campaign was announced.
