From Breitbart: USA Today became the latest publication to snub Vice President Kamala Harris with a non-endorsement in the 2024 presidential election.
Lark-Marie Antón, a spokesperson for USA Today confirmed to the Daily Beast that the publication had decided not to endorse either Harris or former President Donald Trump in the presidential election, noting that the publication believes “America’s future is decided locally.”
The outlet’s decision to not endorse Harris comes years after it “broke tradition in urging” its readers not to vote for Trump in the 2016 presidential election, and went on to endorse President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election, writing that it “unanimously supports the election of Joe Biden.”
“Why are we doing this?” Anton said in a statement. “Because we believe America’s future is decided locally—one race at a time. And with more than 200 publications across the nation, our public service is to provide readers with the facts that matter and the trusted information they need to make informed decisions.”
The USA Today is ranked as the 3rd largest daily newspaper in the US, right behind the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, according to report in July of this year.
Both the Washington Post (4th largest paper) and the Los Angeles Times (5th largest paper) have also announced they will not be endorsing a candidate this election cycle, a move which has angered many Democrats.
