    O’Brien’s non-endorsement ended up being a boon to Harris - if the national leaders had endorsed her, it would have been in the news for a day. Now, instead we get a nice drip-drip of local leaders lining up to lend actual grassroots support, which is actually effective at things like maximizing turnout, and local endorsements end up in local news.

      I keep telling people that union leaders are way more clever than they realize, but people keep assuming that O’Brien is working on the surface level.
