Washington Post Says Will Not Endorse Kamala Harris Or Trump In election

After reports surfaced that owner Jeff Bezos blocked the endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, readers took to social media, inboxes, and forums to slam the move, labeling it everything from “cowardly” to “a betrayal of journalistic integrity.”

The decision faced backlash after columnist Robert Kagan resigned, and 11 opinion writers jointly published a piece condemning the decision.

“The Washington Post will not be making an endorsement of a presidential candidate in this election. Nor in any future presidential election. We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates,” William Lewis chief executive officer of WaPo said in an opinion piece published on October 25.
