Obama sent a video message Thursday saying “I don’t think there has ever been anyone as qualified.”

The move came after Obama met with her rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders. Sanders said he would work with Clinton to stop Donald Trump.

Not long after Obama endorsed Clinton, Donald Trump sent a message regarding the decision. The tweet, however, did not go unnoticed by Hillary Clinton. 

In his endorsement, Obama said: "I don't think there's ever been someone so qualified to hold this office."
