Okay, he could have refused the endorsement then? My mistake. Do they call the campaigns and offer their endorsements and the candidates accept or refuse it? Don’t berate me for this - I was under the assumption that anyone could endorse a candidate with or without their approval.
These are staged events, which mean pre-planning.
Pre-planning means the campaign decides if the want the endorsement
and then how to stage it,
This was a staged endorsement. Campaign had approval.
