Why this is better

O'Rourke had already ended his campaign in November 2019 and only endorsed Biden in March 2020, not as part of the Buttigieg/Klobuchar withdrawal window; the South Sea Bubble share price rose roughly 700-800 percent, not 1,000 percent; the mid-century voting-influence researcher paired with Lazarsfeld was Elihu Katz, not Dan/Daniel Katz.
