Ahead of the unofficial decision, the Washington Post called Trump 'horrible' and 'the worst president of modern times'.

The Washington Post editorial board has not endorsed a single Republican president in the past 50 years. It's not encouraging one thing this cycle, but the fact that it's not supporting Kamala Harris has caused yet another uproar in a high-profile media outlet.

“The winner of the election will be sitting down the street from the Washington Post,” Post columnist Paul Farhi told Fox News Digital. “I mean, don't you think you have an idea about that? Of course you do. So it makes it curious and strange that they would back off like this.”

A look at the paper's recent history and coverage of Trump leaves no doubt as to where he stands on the GOP general manager, who has been called the worst president in modern history and had to be removed from office after the January 6 Capitol violence.

The Post announced Friday that it will not provide endorsements in the upcoming or any future presidential election, in what publisher Will Lewis called a “return to our roots.” The Post had endorsed a Democrat for president in every election since 1976, except when it skipped one in 1988. The Los Angeles Times also made waves this month after deciding not to run for president despite its dislike of Trump.

THE WASHINGTON POST SKIPPED THE WHITE HOUSE APPROVAL, BUT THE LIBERAL FAILURE IS STILL OBVIOUS IN THE SENATE AND HOUSE.

If the Post's announcement had been made last year, it would not have caused such a stir. But 11 days before the next election, after years of calling Trump an unfair scandal, his decision sparked cold fury from the paper and unprecedented anger from Post luminaries.

At least two Post Office employees have resigned. Nineteen bloggers signed a letter criticizing the decision, urging Trump to be identified as a danger to the law and the country. It is reported that the subscriptions have been canceled by the hundreds and into the thousands.

And the newspaper's union is concerned that the administration is meddling in private affairs, amid reports that the Post's owner, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, forced the move because of Trump's possible return to power.

However, the articles of this paper can leave no doubt as to where you stand on the 45th president and who should be the 47th.

On October 12, it criticized Trump's “deceptive” rhetoric in recent debates and rallies. On September 11, he said he lost his debate with Kamala Harris “over tone and substance.” It has been said in recent months that he will govern in “chaos,” that Harris is clearly “better” when comparing the two candidates, and that he has “complaints” in his acceptance speech for the Republican nomination.

Billionaire Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos made the decision to withdraw from any White House endorsement in 2024.

“He has an extreme agenda” and is “unpredictable” and “very dangerous,” the Post said earlier this year when they feared that then-Democratic nominee Joe Biden might lose the race; he would later step aside and be replaced by Harris.

JONATHAN TULEY: WHY CONGRATULATIONS TO WASHINGTON

In 2016 and 2020, the Post enthusiastically endorsed Hillary Clinton and Biden against Trump. It called him “terrible” and “differently qualified” in 2016. In 2020, it called Trump “the worst president of modern times.”

Farhi, who left this position after 35 years in 2023, is one of those confused by the idea of ​​deciding not to tell us the proposal that will reveal the principles of this newspaper, even if it does not move the needle from the voters.

“Let's say the Post, like the New York Times, endorsed Harris, and it looked like they were going to do it until Bezos intervened,” Farhi told Fox News Digital. “Would anyone care? No one would care because what do you expect? The Post won't endorse Trump, so, oh they endorsed Harris? Yes, the New York Times endorsed Harris at the end of September. The big … I don't get it thinking more about this.”

In addition, Farhi noted, Post reporters have extensively investigated and investigated Trump's speeches, policies, scandals, business dealings and more over the years. Its slogan, “Democracy Dies in Darkness,” was adopted in 2017, shortly after Trump took office, though the paper denied it was a direct response to him.

“The Post has a very long history of having story after story investigating Trump, and in fact, a lot of editorializing about Trump's behavior and Trump's record in office, so why would it be something that provokes Trump?” Farhi asked.

The Post has not been entirely supportive of Harris, criticizing him earlier this year for his economic “strategies” such as a plan to block “price gouging,” and offering questions it would like to ask him, such as why he has changed so much. many positions since his poor 2020 campaign.

But Harris' endorsement was reportedly drafted and ready for publication before Bezos pulled the plug. Instead of the fully expected statement of support from a liberal editorial board that clearly views Trump as a threat to the republic, the 11th hour announcement of neutrality only served to sow confusion and anger.
