The decision to not provide a political endorsement this time around, which is the first in 36 years, will be made by editor Will Lewis in a note to readers website on Friday afternoon, according to reports. David Shipley, the director of the newspaper page, informed the editorial board that this year there would be no endorsement. The purpose of the citation is to” make a free and impartial environment” where people are not informed of their ballot.
The document reportedly dragged its feet on the selection because Jeff Bezos, the landlord, is unmoved to support Kamala Harris ‘ upsetting Donald Trump. The choice to no support people confirms the hesitating. According to a New York Post review, the Washington Post editorial board wrote its support for Kamala Harris but received no funding from Bezos or Will Lewis to distribute it.
On September 30, the New York Post announced its support for Donald Trump, and the New York Times endorsed Kamala Harris. Los Angeles Times also made the decision to reject any prospect, which resulted in the withdrawal of the editorial board member and the writer.
The editorial board repeatedly stated that Trump’s activities in business and his speech as a candidate had rendered him unfit for office. The Washington Post regularly covered the wrongdoings of Trump. In 2016, Washington Post endorsed Hillary Clinton and in 2020, they went with Joe Biden.
‘ Returning to our roots ‘
Will Lewis, editor of the Washington Post, wrote a letter to staffers informing them that the paper was going back to its pre-war policy of never supporting presidential candidates.
” We recognize that this will be read in a range of techniques, including as a tacit support of one member, or as a criticism of another, or as an abandonment of responsibility. “
That is obvious. We don’t see it that way. We believe it to be in line with the values The Post has always emphasized and what we want from a head: character and bravery in support to the American attitude, respect for the rule of law, and respect for human independence in all its dimensions. ”
