Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post has endorsed a second Trump presidency.
The newspaper’s editorial board says that the election is “one of the most
consequential in the history of this great nation”, and adds the decision “will
have reverberations for decades”.
Citing concerns over the US border, safe
cities, the US’s standing on the world stage, and gender, the Post says Trump
is the “only” option.
The
paper’s endorsement of the former president is notable, given that it renounced
Trump’s presidency in the wake of the 6 January Capitol riots. Its editorial board
wrote at the time that “Trump has proven himself
unworthy to be this country’s chief executive again”.
The
Post’s editorial is one of several that has been released recently: The New
York Times endorsed Harris as “the only choice” for president – as did The
Boston Globe.
The
Los Angeles Times, meanwhile, has seen controversy over its lack of any endorsement.
Patrick Soon-Shiong, the LA Times’s owner,
refused to allow an endorsement of Harris to be published – leading to editorial board leader Mariel
Garza’s resignation. Two other board members have also now resigned, US outlet
Semafor reports.
