Washington Post will not endorse a candidate in 2024 presidential election, breaking decades of tradition

New YorkCNN — 

For the first time in decades, The Washington Post will not endorse a candidate in this year’s presidential election, the newspaper’s publisher announced Friday, a decision that sparked widespread outrage among the paper’s staffers.

“The Washington Post will not be making an endorsement of a presidential candidate in this election. Nor in any future presidential election,” Post publisher Will Lewis said in a statement. “We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates.”

The Post reported the decision not to endorse a presidential candidate was made by the newspaper’s owner, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, citing two sources briefed on the matter.
