Washington Post' won't endorse in White House race for first time since 1980s
KPBS ^ | October 25, 2024 | David Folkenflik

Even though the presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris remains neck and neck, The Washington Post has decided not to make a presidential endorsement for the first time in 36 years, the publisher and CEO announced Friday.

"We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates," Will Lewis wrote.

The editorial page editor, David Shipley, told colleagues the news at a tense meeting prior to the announcement. The meeting was characterized by someone with direct knowledge of discussions on condition of anonymity to speak about internal matters.

No endorsement is a Trump win.

Even the RAT newspapers think the Jamaican la Cucaracha is a dangerous threat to America with her Marxist Banana boat democrazy.

Ha! Those idiots won’t endorse Trump, because Orange Man Bad. But they also can’t endorse Harris, because even they know what an absolutely unqualified, incompetent, unlikable joke she is.

This is hilarious. Everyone in the world knows that the leftists at the WaPo along with their subscriber base prefer Commie-LA, BUT Bezos assumes that she’s going to lose and is scared s—tless of Trump.

No one should make any mistake here.

These non-endorsements are a crystal-clear message that Kamala Harris is so woefully bad that they cannot endorse her despite their abject hatred of Donald Trump.

Wow.

It shows just how bad the Brandon economy is and how worse they, Bezos and Soong-shiong,, know it will get if she wins.

His last tweet was praising Trump in the aftermath of the assassination attempt

Good point. Among my most earnest hopes is that Trump delivers and breaks up these monopolies, like Google and Meta.

Yep. The LA Times and now WaPo. The leftist LAT subscribers are canceling to the point that the paper’s employees are begging them to stop because they depend on subscriber fees to pay their salaries.

I suspect we will see similar comments from WaPo subscribers. Oh, they will post screen shots of their cancellations, but by tomorrow they will have responded to the emails begging them not to cancel and thereby continue their subscriptions (but with an additional 20% off!). LOL!

Isn’t the left’s meltdown glorious!?!

Now, if we can just stop the steal.

Text of the Washington Post Statement:

“Washington Post is remains fully committed to the DC Deep State, and will continue our excellent propaganda on behalf of the CIA and US State Department. We will also continue to hate Donald Trump and promote his immediate death. Yet we are unable to support the clearly fraudulent and idiotic BIPOC clown that has been pushed forward by the worst elements of our own neo-Marxist Party. We therefore will not support either candidate in this election.”
