The New York Times endorsed not one, but two candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination on Sunday.

The paper’s editorial board gave their blessings to progressive candidate Elizabeth Warren and centrist Amy Klobuchar in a surprise endorsement that split from tradition.

The editorial board announced their endorsements toward the end of an episode of “The Weekly,” the Times’ television show that airs on Hulu.

In an article posted to the Times’ website soon after the episode aired, the board noted their two endorsements were a “break with convention.”

In endorsing Warren, the board wrote her campaign writes seriously about policy, while also making a point to highlight proposed anti-corruption legislation and speaking clearly about foreign policy.

“Her campaign’s plans, in general, demonstrate a serious approach to policymaking that some of the other candidates lack,” they wrote in the endorsement.

“Ms. Warren accurately describes a lack of housing construction as the primary driver of the nation’s housing crisis, and she has proposed both increases in government funding for housing construction, and changes in regulatory policy to encourage local governments to allow more construction,” they added.

In their endorsement for Klobuchar, the editorial board called her the “standard-bearer” for the Democratic center.

Sick. All three of them.

The editorial board also used the endorsement to criticize President Trump, writing he’s leading the country down a path of “white nativism.”

“The incumbent president, Donald Trump, is clear about where he is guiding the Republican Party — white nativism at home and America First unilateralism abroad, brazen corruption, escalating culture wars, a judiciary stacked with ideologues and the veneration of a mythological past where the hierarchy in American society was defined and unchallenged,”

they wrote.

NYT needs to choose between them, so I’ll know which one to vote for.

Sorry, Sleepy Joe.

[TexasGurl24]

Soros has demanded a woman be the nominee. His media puppets do his bidding.

[cgbg]

A bi-endorsement.

How woke of them!

[gswilder]

Their top 4 was :

Warren
Klobucher
Booker
Buttigeig

Some diversity right there , including a Native American Story Teller.

[House Atreides]

NOT FAIR! Mayor Buttigieg has a husband too .... just like Warren and what’s-her-name. /s

[conservative98]

Biden upon reading the NYT today.

[profit_guy]

Maybe Warren will get the nomination and choose Klobucher for her running mate. It’s always been America’s dream to have two men-hating, Commie women running the country.

[kabar]

Anybody but Bernie endorsement.

[SunkenCiv]

The Slimes knows their endorsement is worthless, particularly since Warren's campaign is in a terminal dive, and Klobuchar's is a never-was. Virtual-Virtue-Signalling ping.

[SunkenCiv]

"Whew! I dodged a bullet! That reminds me of another close call, the one time my late wife and I accompanied President and Missus Lincoln to the theater and could do nothing as John Wilkes Booth shot him."

[Vendome]

They are trying to birth lifeless campaigns....

[gswilder]

Actually Biden didn’t want the endorsement of the NYT... he wants to earn the nomination on his own!
