On political endorsement

William Lewis, The Washington Post: “Democracy Dies in Darkness”

Also: Post columnists respond

UPDATE:

• Refusing to endorse a candidate, The Post wounds itself
• The Post endorses no one for president
• For The Post, the wrong choice at the worst possible time
• It has fallen to me, the humor columnist, to endorse Harris for president

UPDATE 2:

Michael Sainato, The Guardian: “‘Trump waited to make sure that Bezos did what he said he was going to do – and then met with the Blue Origin people,’ Kagan told the Daily Beast on Saturday. ‘Which tells us that there was an actual deal made, meaning that Bezos communicated, or through his people, communicated directly with Trump, and they set up this quid pro quo.’”
