The LA Times editorial board has historically endorsed Democratic presidential candidates since 2008. However, this year, they will not endorse a candidate due to an edict from billionaire owner Patrick Soon-Shiong.
Last week, the LA Times published its electoral endorsements for the 2024 election, noting the significance of this election while refraining from discussing the presidential candidates.
According to two sources, the decision to abstain from a presidential endorsement was communicated by executive editor Terry Tang, as directed by owner Patrick Soon-Shiong without any provided explanation.
In its endorsements, the LA Times emphasized the importance of the upcoming election, referring to it as potentially the most consequential election in a generation, yet completely omitted endorsing for president.
