WaPo usually doesn't endorse a candidate. Nothing new.

The Washington Post has historically endorsed presidential candidates, a practice it has followed for decades.
However, as of October 25, 2024, the newspaper announced that it will no longer endorse any presidential candidates in the current election or in future elections.
This marks a significant shift from its previous stance, where it had endorsed candidates in nearly every presidential election since 1976, starting with Jimmy Carter.

The decision has sparked backlash from former staff members, including former executive editor Marty Baron,
who criticized it as a "moment of darkness" for democracy and an act of cowardice.
Many within the newsroom expressed shock and disappointment at the announcement.
