In a surprising move, The Washington Post has announced that it will not be endorsing a presidential candidate for the first time in decades. The newspaper's publisher, Will Lewis, made the announcement on Friday, stating that this decision marks a return to the publication's roots of not endorsing presidential candidates.
Since the 1980s, The Washington Post has endorsed a presidential candidate in every election. However, Lewis emphasized that the Editorial Board has the right to choose not to endorse, a right they are now exercising.
