Washington Post Declines to Endorse Presidential Candidate

Teamsters Union Declines to Endorse

Three weeks prior, the Teamsters Union, the second largest union, announced that they would not be endorsing any presidential candidate. This decision came after internal polling revealed that 58% of its members supported Trump, while only 31% supported Harris. Their decision was understandable, given that the majority of their members did not support Harris.

Washington Post Follows Suit

In a surprising turn of events, the Washington Post followed the Teamsters Union's lead and announced on Friday that they too would not be endorsing a presidential candidate. This decision is not restricted to just this election, but extends to all future presidential elections. In a statement, the Washington Post said, "We will not be making an endorsement of a presidential candidate in this election. Nor in any future presidential election. We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates." The decision by the Washington Post has sparked reactions from various quarters, with one user on social media commenting, "Washington Post chose Hitler over Taylor Lorenz."

Developing Story

As the story continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the lack of endorsement from such a major news outlet will impact the presidential race.
