The New York Times editorial board endorsed Kamala Harris Monday in a piece that called the vice president the only "patriotic choice" when pitted against former President Donald Trump, who the Times described as "morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the nation above self-interest" and temperamentally unfit for a role that "requires the very qualities — wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, discipline — that he most lacks."
This election, the Times said, is more than just a contest of ideas, but a question of whether to elect a man who will "degrade the values, defy the norms and dismantle the institutions that have made our country strong" or a "dedicated public servant who has demonstrated care, competence and an unwavering commitment to the Constitution."
