party endorsement

Party endorsement is when a political party publicly supports a candidate running for office. This backing can include official statements, campaign appearances, and resources to help the candidate gain visibility and credibility. Endorsements signal the party's approval and can influence voters to consider the candidate favorably, often reflecting the party’s shared values or strategic interests. Essentially, it’s a formal way for a party to endorse a candidate as someone representing their ideals and policies, which can significantly impact the candidate’s chances of success in an election.
