      It makes sense if you know that “Biden for President” is an entity and not a declaration in the grammatical sense. But otherwise no, it looks like a Bidenism in text form lol

      Capital letters would normally be what makes this parsable. It’s the all-caps that makes it hard. But yes, it’s still correct. You don’t put a proper name of an organization in quotes.

      To make it clear

      • Don’t use all caps

      • For clarity format “Biden for President” a different way. I think a simple solution is to make it in italics.

       

      Paid for by Biden for President.

      I’m a native speaker but I’m not a linguist. I think when a native speaker says that sentence for clarity they automatically say - “Paid for by” tiny pause “Biden for President”.
