      For a presidential ticket https://votevets.org/press-releases/votevets-makes-historic-first-ever-endorsement-for-president

      WASHINGTON, DC—For the first time in the group’s nearly 20-year history, VoteVets is making an endorsement in the presidential general election, backing the Harris-Walz ticket in 2024. Tim Walz is a National Guard Veteran, and the group only endorses Veterans, national security professionals, and military family members.

      The group will immediately begin fundraising for the ticket, mobilizing its over 1.5 million supporter list.

      “The Harris-Walz ticket will defend America and our Veterans,” the group said in a statement. “Vice President Harris already was the best choice for America in this election, but the addition of Governor Walz will supercharge this ticket, and we’re proud to back it.”

        I’ve never heard of the PAC, but there are plenty of sham PACs that exist to “support” a single candidate. If you ever revise this you should toss “VP” before candidate to make that clearer, otherwise it sounds like he got endorsed by his own PAC. And yes the American political system earned this level of cynicism.
