Los Angeles Times won’t endorse Harris for president — or Trump

The owner of the Los Angeles Times has blocked the paper from endorsing a candidate for president this year.

Last week, the LA Times published its electoral endorsements for the 2024 election. And while the paper noted in its first line that it is “no exaggeration to say this may be the most consequential election in a generation,” that was the only mention of the presidential race in its endorsements.

The paper’s editorial board, which has endorsed Democratic candidates in every presidential race since it first endorsed then-Sen. Barack Obama in 2008, was preparing to do so once again this election.

Harris lives in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles with her husband, Doug Emhoff, and previously served as the state’s attorney general and one of California’s two U.S. senators.

A request for comment from the Harris campaign was not immediately returned, but the Trump campaign called the Times’ decision a “humiliating blow.”

“Even her fellow Californians know she’s not up for the job,” the campaign added

The Los Angeles Times has endorsed every Democratic presidential candidate since 2008.

Kamala Harris can't get one of the major papers in her state to endorse her.

well she doesn't actually have any of her own thoughts. An endorsement for her is an endorsement for oligarchs running the show.

i sense perhaps elites funding the democratic party have thrown in the towel on kamala.

I have no idea why she was selected to begin with. She had 0 redeeming qualities even back in 2020. And you know damn well Biden didn’t choose her as VP. That was done for him just like nearly everything was in his disastrous term.

 

[KOByFootStomp]

People know that an endorsement or vote for Kamala reflects poorly on themselves. She is such terrible candidate that no one wants to be associated with her. You would have to be severely mentally deficient to support this woman. This is why she targets young naive people, mentally ill, or illegals who don't speak english for votes. Anyone with critical thinking ability or an IQ over 80 will not vote or endorse this idiot.

i think some people high up in the party (particularly obama) selected her a while back as a future candidate, and she’s gotten some favorable treatment from party insiders on that basis. she’s had several changes to prove her mettle as a national candidate and she just doesn’t have it.

That's awesome. It'd be nice if not endorsing candidates catches on with other news publications. Of course it wont, but I can dream.

 

[Confucamus]

Kamala is THAT terrible of a candidate, even in the eyes of leftwing publications.

People in LA were melting down about this lol. It’s like chappell roan 2.0.

very accurate

 

[RoastBeast]

Kamala respects the LA Times freedom to not endorse a candidate because freedom is what this country was to be founded on and in such it is freedom that allows the person who is free to be free to free themselves from the burden of being unburdened by what has been.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

it's over.

 

[kflo]

very accurate

i mean, harris leads big in polling with those with a college or postgrad degree.

 

[emefer]

So the owner of the paper is censoring the editorial department.

That just reveals that a college education doesn't mean what it once did and I say that as someone with a degree.

it means the posts i was addressing are bs.

 

[kflo]

So the owner of the paper is censoring the editorial department.

i mean, if you own the paper, you have a right to own it's endorsement of a presidential candidate.

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

based. they're both pro-genocide and pro-prison industry. why would you?

 

[CantCucktheTuck]

I haven't met a single person in real life that admits that they support Harris. I mean, I know they are out there, but I suppose it's just too embarrassing for people to know who you are IRL and that you are voting for Harris.

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

Kamala is THAT terrible of a candidate, even in the eyes of leftwing publications.

as she should be. no one on the left likes democrats anymore. the democratic party is a corrupt, abject failure
