Odaily Planet Daily News According to foreign media reports, although the presidential race between Trump and Harris remains tight, the editorial page editor of The Washington Post told colleagues in a tense meeting on Friday morning that for the first time in 36 years, they have decided not to endorse a presidential candidate. Editorial page editor David Shipley told colleagues that the publisher of The Washington Post, Will Lewis, would release a statement to readers online earlier on Friday afternoon. Shipley informed colleagues that management had told the editorial board the day before that there would be no endorsement. He added that he 'takes responsibility' for this decision. He mentioned that the reason is to create an 'independent space' so that the newspaper does not tell people who to vote for. Colleagues were reportedly 'shocked' and generally held a negative attitude. (Jinshi)
