A number of Republican and MAGA figures have reacted angrily after The Houston Chronicle, one of the biggest newspapers in Texas, endorsed President Joe Biden.
The Houston Chronicle's editorial board said they would be backing Biden in the Democratic primary and for re-election so he can "make life better" for the American people as well as prevent the "chaos, corruption and danger to the nation" that would accompany his presumed 2024 Republican challenger Donald Trump returning to the White House.
The Houston Chronicle's praise for Biden will be a boost for the Democrat as he seeks re-election in November. It remains to be seen how much of a difference the endorsement will make, seeing as Texas has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate for nearly 50 years, with Trump beating Biden in 2020 by six points in the red state.
In their editorial, the paper's board admit that Biden "has his shortcomings," but what his administration has achieved during his time in office is a "potent reminder to his fellow Democrats, to independents and to those Republicans who have somehow resisted Trump's cultish appeal that the nation has a viable alternative."

Sounds just like my local liberal rag. Although the population here is only 40,000 or so.
The Houston Chronicle turned far left over 20 years ago. I subscribed back in the mid 1980s when it was a good paper. Now I won’t even read it for free on the interweb.
You are probably thinking of Lina Hidalgo, the Harris County Judge (basically the mayor of the county with no judicial functions). As far as I know she has never come out as a lesbian, but she is a far left Democrat.
There isn’t a major city in Texas that is not controlled by leftist.
Turning? TURNING?
The Houston Comical has earned its nick.
If you won’t vote for Trump, you ain’t no Texan!
Houston Chronic BULL
Twain was a prophet on somethings
Whitmire was strongly endorsed by many blue collar labor unions
I am not optimistic about his mayorship
The Houston Chronicle endorsed Beto against Cruz, too.
This is a nothingburger.
