L.A. Times, Washington Post Decline Endorsement of Kamala Harris in 2024 Race

Sharing is Caring!

In an unusual move, the L.A. Times and the Washington Post have opted not to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential election, marking a shift in editorial policy at both major newspapers.

L.A. Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong reportedly blocked the editorial board’s planned endorsement of Harris, urging the board to present a factual analysis of both candidates instead. This decision sparked internal tensions, leading several editorial board members to resign in protest.

Meanwhile, the Washington Post chose to abstain from endorsing any candidate, ending a 36-year tradition. Owner Jeff Bezos directed the paper to return to its origins, maintaining a neutral stance in presidential races. Despite the board’s original endorsement draft favoring Harris, the directive ultimately prevented it from going public.

These decisions reflect a broader trend toward non-partisanship in media endorsements, reshaping the role of major newspapers in the election narrative.
