The Washington Post's decision not to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election has led to significant backlash, resulting in multiple resignations from its editorial board and a surge in subscription cancellations. Publisher William Lewis announced the decision, stating it reflects a return to the paper's historical practices, despite the editorial board having prepared a pro-Harris endorsement that was ultimately blocked by owner Jeff Bezos. The fallout includes the resignation of prominent staff, such as editorial board members Molly Roberts and David Hoffman, with Hoffman expressing concerns over the threat of autocracy posed by Donald Trump. This marks the first time since 1988 that the Post has refrained from making a presidential endorsement, sparking outrage among staff and readers. Critics argue that the paper's action undermines its role in guiding voters during a critical election period.
