Jeff Bezos killed Washington Post endorsement of Kamala Harris

The Washington Post planned to endorse Kamala Harris over Donald Trump before owner Jeff Bezos, the Amazon founder, decided again it, the newspaper reported.

We see it as consistent with the values The Post has always stood for and what we hope for in a leader: character and courage in service to the American ethic, veneration for the rule of law, and respect for human freedom in all its aspects." The announcement came days after Mariel Garza, the head of The Los Angeles Times's editorial board, resigned in protest after that paper's owner Patrick Soon-Shiong decided against running a presidential endorsement. Trump in August told Fox Business News that Bezos called him after the Republican narrowly escaped an assassination attempt in July at a campaign rally in western Pennsylvania.
