Will Lewis announced that The Washington Post will not endorse a presidential candidate this election cycle, marking the first time in 36 years.
Editorial page editor David Shipley expressed that the decision is to create 'independent space', stating he 'owns' the choice to forgo an endorsement.
Former executive editor Martin Baron criticized the Post's decision, calling it 'cowardice' and lamenting that it would embolden figures like Donald Trump.
The lack of a presidential endorsement reflects a return to the Post's editorial roots prior to the Watergate era, suggesting a significant shift in editorial philosophy.
