      Asa Hutchinson got 0.1% in Iowa so he dropped out. After that the Haley campaign claimed she got his endorsement. They lied. He put out a single tweet of mild approval about her. At first I thought it was a stupid thing for her campaign to do. What were they hoping for? That Haley might grab a literal handful of Hutchinson voters in New Hampshire?

      But then I realized the obvious. Because nobody actually gives a shit about endorsements anyway - her consultants knew the media would correct the situation and that would generate an iota of free media. And very little bit of free media helps.

      Literally all my knowledge about the 2024 campaign comes from liberal media, and I’ve only heard about the GOP and Trump’s efforts and nothing about Biden’s campaign lol
