New York Times: Harris only 'patriotic choice' in presidential election
The New York Times editorial board is backing Vice President Harris for president this fall over former President Trump.
In an editorial published on Monday, the Times said it is "hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump."
"He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the nation above self-interest," the newspaper wrote of Harris's Republican opponent. "He has proved himself temperamentally unfit for a role that requires the very qualities — wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, discipline — that he most lacks."
For these reasons, the outlet continued, Harris is "the only patriotic choice for president," regardless of "any political disagreements voters might have with her."
"Most presidential elections are, at their core, about two different visions of America that emerge from competing policies and principles," the Times editorial board explained. "This one is about something more foundational. It is about whether we invite into the highest office in the land a man who has revealed, unmistakably, that he will degrade the values, defy the norms and dismantle the institutions that have made our country strong."
Most national polls show Harris and Trump separated by a narrow margin with just over a month until election day.
The Times recently announced it would no longer endorse candidates in local New York elections.
