Two days ago, the president used his social media platform to endorse this "phenomenal candidate" and to urge "all America First Patriots" in the district to get out and vote for her.
Today, he says he doesn't know anything about it and had nothing to do with it.

I'm having a really fun time settling into Endfield, but I'll be really honest, I have no idea what this game is going to look like in 6 months.
It's such a fascinating mix of genres and systems, it seems wild to conceive of where it is going.
