The fallout from Jeff Bezos's unilateral decision to not endorse Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential election includes losing 200,000 digital subscribers—and counting—two columnists to resign and two writers to step down from the editorial board.

Since news broke Friday that the paper would not be endorsing a presidential candidate, about 8% of its paid circulation of 2.5 million canceled their accounts, according to reporting by NPR.
