New York Times calls Trump victory a 'grave threat' to republic
The New York Times editorial board was despondent over President-elect Donald Trump's decisive victory, declaring his return to power was a "grave threat" to the republic.
"American voters have made the choice to return Donald Trump to the White House, setting the nation on a precarious course that no one can fully foresee," the board wrote on Wednesday, later adding, "Mr. Trump’s election poses a grave threat to [the] republic, but he will not determine the long-term fate of American democracy. That outcome remains in the hands of the American people."
Trump capped a stunning political comeback from his defeat in 2020 and impeachment over the January 6 Capitol riot with an emphatic win over Vice President Kamala Harris. Winning back swing states like Pennsylvania, Georgia and Wisconsin, and making huge gains in deep-blue states, Trump was declared the winner by media outlets early Wednesday morning and pledged to usher in a "golden era" for the United States.
The New York Times is not among those enthused about Trump's win.
