Bartlet's Onstage Solidarity Amid Kuhndu Crisis

The platform/ stage is the raised physical locus Sam mounts to address supporters; it separates backstage chaos from public performance and becomes the space where Bartlet's private frustration is translated into a public endorsement.

Before: Set and waiting at the curbside, unoccupied until Sam mounts it.

After: Occupied by Sam and Bartlet during the endorsement; remains the focal point of the rally after Bartlet raises Sam's hand.
