Jeff Bezos reportedly killed Washington Post’s Kamala Harris endorsement: ‘This is cowardice’​

Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos reportedly put the kibosh on the paper endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election — leading to one editorial board member to quit and backlash from its left-leaning staff.

The Beltway broadsheet said Friday that it will not endorse either candidate, breaking 36 years of tradition, following a “tense” newsroom, according to NPR.

The newspaper then published an article written by two reporters saying that editorial page staffers had drafted an endorsement for the Democratic nominee Harris over former President Donald Trump.

Meh. When's the last time WaPo endorsed a Rep? Sometime before 1980?

They haven't ever endorsed a Rep. for Prez.

"Until 1976, the Post did not regularly make endorsements in presidential elections. Since it endorsed Jimmy Carter in 1976, the Post has endorsed Democrats in presidential elections, and has never endorsed a Republican for president in the general election" From Wiki.

Something the Republican Party could be proud of.
