The Washington Post won¡¯t be making a presidential endorsement for the 2024 election or in any future presidential races, becoming the latest news publication to pull away from backing political candidates.
William Lewis, the newspaper¡¯s publisher and CEO, said in a statement Friday that the Post is ¡°returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates,¡± with the goal of providing ¡°nonpartisan news for all Americans.¡± The paper only began endorsing candidates consistently starting in 1976, he said.
¡°We recognize that this will be read in a range of ways, including as a tacit endorsement of one candidate, or as a condemnation of another, or as an abdication of responsibility,¡± Lewis wrote. ¡°That is inevitable. We don¡¯t see it that way.¡±
