SUMMARY

The Washington Post will not endorse any presidential candidates in 2024 or future elections, marking its first non-endorsement in 36 years. Publisher William Lewis stated this decision aligns with the paper's values and its role to offer nonpartisan news and diverse opinions. He emphasized the importance of independence for the newspaper.

This decision follows the Los Angeles Times' similar non-endorsement, which led to resignations of top editors in protest. While the Post has endorsed other candidates this cycle, former editor Marty Baron criticized the choice as "disturbing spinelessness" and "cowardice."
