Odaily News According to foreign media reports, although the presidential race between Trump and Harris remains deadlocked, the editorial page editor of The Washington Post told colleagues in a tense meeting on Friday morning that it had decided not to endorse a presidential candidate for the first time in 36 years. Editorial page editor David Shipley told colleagues that Will Lewis, publisher of The Washington Post, would publish a statement to readers online early Friday afternoon. Shipley told colleagues that the editorial department was informed by management yesterday that there would be no endorsements. He added that he "took responsibility" for the decision. The reason he mentioned was to create an "independent space" so that the newspaper would not tell people who to vote for. It is reported that colleagues were "shocked" and generally negative.
