Opinion | Why the New York Times Editorial Board Endorsed Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris is the one selection for president in 2024. She has the New York Occasions’ editorial board’s endorsement. Hello, I’m Kathleen Kingsbury and I oversee the opinion report on the New York Occasions together with its editorial board. With all of the dialogue about presidential endorsements this fall, I assumed it might be useful to clarify how and why the New York Occasions’ Editorial Board weighs in on political races. First, it’s vital to remind you that Information and Opinion are separate on the instances. The groups don’t coordinate editorially in any respect. The Occasions first endorsed a candidate for president in 1860. In that extremely consequential race on the cusp of an American Civil Struggle, the board advisable voters select Abraham Lincoln for the White Home. This yr, the Editorial Board has labored arduous to clarify the stakes on this election. We’ve stated over and time and again how Donald Trump is temperamentally and morally unfit to be president. Like for all of our editorials, the board has accomplished reporting. We’ve accomplished analysis on their coverage positions. We’ve had deep discussions. We’ve relied on lengthy standing values and precedents. We acquired the enter of our writer, A.G. Sulzberger. I personally attended each Trump and Harris rallies, spoke to dozens of American voters, and attended each events political conventions. We concluded, as all voters ought to, that Vice President Harris is certified for the job and Donald Trump is just not. I invite you to learn or take heed to our editorial. “There’s Solely One Patriotic Alternative for President,” on the instances web site. And please bear in mind to vote in November.
