Former President Barack Obama nailed a three-point shot while campaigning with former Vice President Joe Biden in Flint, Michigan, on Saturday. The video, which has been viewed nearly 20 million times since it was posted, was shared by Olivia Raisner, the Biden campaign's traveling digital director.
"That's what I do," Obama shouted as he left the gymnasium. Lowering his "VOTE" mask, he yelled again, "That's what I do!"
In the background, Biden can be heard saying: "Whoa."
The shot attracted the attention of LeBron James, who wrote in a tweet: "Now you just showing out now my friend!! That’s what you do huh?? Ok ok I see. All cash!"
The moment also attracted attention from others, including one who wrote: "Barack Obama is amazing. Serious, cool, fun, handsome, smart, loved by his wife and children, and has a deadly jump shot! Seeing him so much these last few days has been like a balm for my weary soul. Come Tuesday, we an look forward to more calm."
And another user concluded: "My dude hit the three left handed mid stride. Why can't we have nice things anymore?"
"We deserve more of this bromance," another user concluded.
