On Friday, The Washington Post's publisher and CEO, William Lewis, declared that the paper would not endorse any candidate in the 2024 presidential race or any future presidential race.

In a post on the paper's website, he stated that The Washington Post will not endorse a presidential candidate in the current election or any future presidential election, as they are returning to their tradition of not endorsing presidential candidates.

The Washington Post's editorial board stated in 1960 that they do not endorse candidates in presidential campaigns, which aligns with their tradition and past actions in five out of the last six elections.

The decision to support readers' right to choose their own presidential candidate was made by the publisher.

Through the newsroom, The Washington Post aims to deliver nonpartisan news to all Americans, while also offering thought-provoking, reported opinions from its opinion team to assist readers in forming their own views.

As the newspaper of the capital city of the most important country in the world, our job is to be independent. That is what we are and will always be.

The Los Angeles Times has decided not to endorse a candidate for the first time since 2008, leading to the resignation of its editorials editor, Mariel Garza, who claims the owner made the decision not to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris.

"Garza announced his resignation on Wednesday, stating that he wanted to make it clear that he was not comfortable with the silence surrounding certain issues. He emphasized the importance of honesty and standing up in dangerous times."

The L.A Times union urged readers not to cancel their subscriptions after condemning the owner for his part in the paper's contentious decision not to endorse a presidential candidate in 2020.

"The Los Angeles Times Guild Unit Council wrote in a Thursday social media post that they are aware of many loyal readers who are angry, upset, or confused, and some have canceled their subscriptions. However, before canceling, they should consider that their subscription supports the salaries of hundreds of journalists in their newsroom. The member-journalists work tirelessly to keep readers informed during these challenging times, and a healthy democracy requires an informed population."
