Barack Obama's legacy is a source of pride for HBCUs, but some White House reporters are critical of his record.

April Ryan, a White House correspondent, compared former President Obama to Jesus and proposed that Vice President Kamala Harris could also be included in the comparison.

The DNC on Tuesday night featured speeches by Obama and Michelle, which were met with excitement by TheGrio's D.C. bureau chief.

Ryan praised Michelle Obama as "stratospheric" and "authentic," and also mentioned the former president, Jesus Christ, and historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) as exceptional examples.

Ryan remarked, "Although I jest about it, there are Jesus, HBCUs, and Barack Obama. If Kamala Harris becomes president, it may change a little. Nonetheless, these are two individuals that people want to hear from at the moment."

Michelle Obama was praised as an "everyday woman" by She after Nicolle Wallace of MSNBC's "Deadline: White House" referred to her as a "cultural icon."

The current moment is more significant than when Barack Obama was inaugurated as president. I recall the evening when he was elected and I was present at the White House. Furthermore, I will always remember the numerous children who rushed to the White House, as well as the spontaneous crowd that gathered due to the perceived change. They saw individuals who were genuine and resembled them, with Michelle Obama being the embodiment of this change.

Ryan continued, "She said, 'When they go low, we go high.' She raised her kids. She looked like an everyday woman instead of being this iconic woman that you could see in Vogue. She stays the same. She cares about people and that is why people listen to her."

The Democrats' "Bold Vision for America’s Future" will be headlined by the Obamas on the second night of the Democratic National Convention.

Obama, who had Biden as his vice president for two terms, ultimately endorsed Harris after Biden exited the race, but not immediately. At first, Obama declared that the party would be "navigating uncharted waters" but said he had "confidence" that the Democratic Party would "be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges."

He and Michelle later endorsed Harris five days after Biden left the race.
