The editorial board of the New York Times, a prestigious media outlet in the United States, has said that it will support the Democratic Party’s candidate for Vice President Kamala Harris in the United States presidential election. The New York Times reported this last Monday. It is said that the Democrat candidate Kamala Harris is the only patriotic candidate in the presidential election. Kamala will fight against former US President Donald Trump in the US presidential election on November 5.
The New York Times article did not mention Kamala by name before the fourth paragraph, despite its support. The preceding paragraphs have highlighted Trump’s ineligibility as a presidential candidate. Trump has been called morally and temperamentally incompetent.
The New York Times article states that the unequivocal, depressing truth is that Donald Trump is unfit to be president. For any voter, who cares about the state of the country and the stability of democracy, that should be enough to rule out re-electing Trump.
Earlier, The New Yorker magazine published an article on the ‘anyone but Trump’ policy. The editors of that magazine said that the Republicans represent the ongoing attack on the stability, nerve and nature of the United States.
A long New York Times article in support of Kamala said, ‘For those frustrated by government failure, Kamala Harris may not be the perfect candidate. Still, we urge US voters to compare Orange’s record with the opposition candidate. In that case, Kamala Harris is a more necessary option.’
The Times editorial board has not endorsed a Republican candidate for president since 1956. Prior to that time, the paper had a history of supporting only Republican candidate D. Eisenhower. Newspapers are emphasizing more fundamental issues than competitive politics and policy in two-party elections.
The New York Times wrote that if US voters do not stand up against Trump, Trump will have the power to do deep and lasting damage to US democracy. But voters have a right to more information from Kamala Harris about specific policies.
According to the New York Times, Kamala may think he’s running a campaign to minimize the risk of an arbitrary error. Under this belief, being the only viable option for Trump may be enough to win him over. But while this strategy eventually won him over, it was detrimental to the public and his own record.
On the other hand, the New York Times called the Republican Party a tool to restore Trump’s power. It has also been claimed that Trump’s second term will be more damaging and divisive than his first. So Kamala Harris can be the only choice.
