The controversial move at the Jeff Bezos–owned paper follows the Los Angeles Times, owned by billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong, also bucking tradition. “These decisions,” Margaret Sullivan tells VF, “are appalling.”
Lewis, who joined the Post in January, wrote that the paper is “returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates,” pointing to editorials from 1960 and 1972 as instances in which the paper explained its rationale for not doing so. Lewis argued that the Post “had it right before” 1976, when the editorial board endorsed Jimmy Carter for president. The Post has endorsed every cycle since then with the exception of 1988.
” The Post’s decision comes on the heels of the Los Angeles Times editorial board breaking with recent tradition in not endorsing a 2024 presidential candidate, a controversial move by its billionaire owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong. The Times’ editorials editor, Mariel Garza, resigned Wednesday in protest, with two editorial members, Robert Greene and Karin Klein, following Thursday.
