The Washington Post, breaking a longstanding tradition, will not endorse presidential candidates in the future, returning to its original stance of neutrality and independence.
Will Lewis, the chief executive of The Washington Post, emphasized that the decision to stop endorsing candidates was not a silent endorsement nor a rejection of any particular candidate.
Historically, The Post has been known for its endorsements since 1976, but it is now reverting to its earlier practice of declining any endorsements.
Questions arose regarding a possible influence from Jeff Bezos over the decision, yet Mr. Lewis stated that the choice was reached among senior leaders without external coercion.
