Good Morning, News: Portland Candidate Endorsements, Harris and Trump Face off in a Debate, and Will Taylor Swift Save Democracy?
Briefly

You can tell a lot about a mayoral candidate by their endorsements. Top candidates Rene Gonzalez and Carmen Rubio have secured substantial support from key organizations, highlighting differing political alliances and voter bases.
While Carmen Rubio boasted significant endorsements from public sector unions, she faced a substantial setback after losing backing from LiUNA Local 737 due to her poor driving record.
The City Council race showcases a diverse array of endorsements where progressive candidates attract support from most public sector unions, in contrast to the backing conservative candidates receive.
The importance of endorsements in local elections cannot be overstated, as they reveal candidate popularity and alignments, influencing public perception and voter decisions.
