America Makes the Decision: Candidate Endorsements


By: Maya Blanks


As the campaigning teams pursued, candidates uploaded videos among their social media platforms advertising their goals and ideas and highlighted why they should be endorsed. After reviewing each candidate’s video, interest groups finalized their decisions on their endorsements and publicized the results.


Candidate Amanda Davis, endorsed by 4 interest groups, amazed the country at her incredible outcome of popularity and preference. She was endorsed by the interest groups NAACP, AARP, ACLU, and the Sierra Club. According to the NAACP, Davis “understands the topic the best, speaks eloquently, and conveys that she cares about the mission statement.” The AARP and the ACLU also speak on their logic and reason for her endorsement. The AARP, an interest group focused on benefitting Americans over the age of 55, expressed their selection was because “she had the most convincing points and spoke the most eloquently.” The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a nonprofit organization that defends the civil rights of all Americans, reasons that “she provided a clear statement” and they support her campaign. Davis gains the support of commonly known as left leaning interest groups that uphold her ideals. The Sierra Club declares their endorsement due to her precision and time management. She gains swift momentum from the many endorsements she received and is leading the race at the moment.


Julia Swift was publicly endorsed by 2 special interest groups, the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organization (AFL-CIO). “Targeting money into lower income areas would make education more equitable. Her policies are logical and complete,” NEA publicizes. The AFL-CIO announced Swift’s endorsement, communicating that she was chosen because “her speech was powerful” and the perfect length. Swift falls short of Davis’s streak, but still manages to put up a strong fight.

The Christian Conservative candidate, Sarah Smith was endorsed by the U.S. Chambers of Commerce and Club for Growth. Both interest groups conveyed that their choice was made because the other candidates lacked a solid argument and Smith was their only decent option.


Maurice Mcdonald wasn’t endorsed by a special interest group due to his ambiguity, lack of innovation, and deficient arguments. Smith and Mcdonald stand at the bottom of the race, while lacking support from the American people.

As the election moves forward, we sit on the edge of our seats, awaiting the results of the upcoming poll. Who will America choose as our next leader?
