New York Times editorial board urges voters to choose Harris

The New York Times editorial board published an opinion piece on Saturday urging people not to vote for former President Trump.

“You already know Donald Trump. He is unfit to lead. Watch him. Listen to those who know him best,” the Times wrote to the public. “He tried to subvert an election and remains a threat to democracy. He helped overturn Roe, with terrible consequences.”

They hyperlinked just over two dozen opinion pieces published in the paper, condemning Trump’s actions that derailed abortion rights and painted him as an individual seeking to upset the country’s stability.

“Mr. Trump’s corruption and lawlessness go beyond elections: It’s his whole ethos. He lies without limit,” they added with words underlined in red. “If he’s re-elected, the G.O.P. won’t restrain him. Mr. Trump will use the government to go after opponents.”

The op-ed comes as prominent outlets including the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times decided to not endorse a candidate this election cycle. Their choice sparked widespread backlash and resulted in canceled news subscriptions.

Amidst the controversy, the New York Times hasn’t veered from their September opinion piece in which they dubbed Vice President Harris the only “patriotic” choice for president.

They concluded the November piece by urging Americans to vote with Trump’s past policies and statements in mind.

“Another Trump term will damage the climate, shatter alliances and strengthen autocrats. Americans should demand better,” the board concluded. “Vote.”
