Obama Will Endorse Schatz in Hawaii

President Obama is planning to endorse Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) over his challenger, Rep. Colleen Hanabusa (D-HI), in the state’s competitive Senate Democratic primary, the Huffington Post reports.

“The president’s endorsement will come later Monday, according to a source familiar with the plan who was not authorized to speak publicly before the announcement.”

The Fix: “Rarely do endorsements move the needle in the campaigns. They are often overhyped and mean far less than the campaigns who tout them would lead you to believe. But this one matters. Big time.”
