political endorsements

Political endorsements occur when individuals, organizations, or public figures express support for a candidate or political party during an election. These endorsements can influence voters by lending credibility or visibility to the endorsed candidate. Endorsements often come from influential leaders, community groups, or unions, and can help candidates reach different demographics. The rationale behind endorsements is to align supporters with a candidate who shares their values or policy preferences, thereby swaying public opinion and potentially impacting the election's outcome.
