More than 200,000 Washington Post subscribers have dropped their subscriptions after the outlet decided not to publicly endorse Kamala Harris' candidacy
This percentage corresponds to approximately 8% of the newspaper's total subscribers, which reach 2.5 million. Some columnists have also resigned in protest against this decision.
Washington Post publisher and CEO William Lewis announced Friday that he will not endorse either candidate.
"We are going back to our roots by choosing not to publicly endorse presidential candidates."
While the owner of the Washington Post, Jeff Bezos, defended the newspaper's decision, calling it fair and principled.
