The Washington Post's decision not to endorse Kamala Harris or any presidential candidate for the 2024 election has sparked significant controversy and internal dissent. This marks the first time since 1988 that the paper, owned by Jeff Bezos, has refrained from endorsing in a presidential race, citing a return to its historical roots of non-endorsement. The move has led to the resignation of Robert Kagan, a prominent editor at the Post, as well as criticism from former executive editor Marty Baron and former Biden adviser Susan Rice, who labeled it cowardice. Similarly, the Los Angeles Times also faced resignations after not endorsing Harris, with critics suggesting the decisions were influenced by their billionaire owners. The non-endorsement decisions by these major newspapers are perceived by some as an abdication of responsibility amidst a critical election cycle.
