The Los Angeles Times, owned by Patrick Soon-Shiong, will not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election, a decision reportedly linked to her support for Israel's actions in Gaza. Nika Soon-Shiong, Patrick's daughter and a political activist, claimed the family jointly decided against the endorsement, citing their opposition to what she described as 'genocide' in Gaza. However, Patrick Soon-Shiong clarified that Nika was expressing her personal views and had no official role in the editorial decision-making. The move has sparked controversy, leading to resignations within the newspaper and cancellations by readers. This decision aligns with a similar choice by the Washington Post, owned by Jeff Bezos, not to endorse a candidate. Speculations suggest that the non-endorsement could be influenced by Soon-Shiong's business interests and potential regulatory considerations under a Trump administration.
