“The calculus is straightforward. If Harris wins the election, it doesn’t matter. Democratic administrations don’t play that way. Donald Trump’s do. We don’t have to predict how a future Trump administration will act. We have plenty of evidence from the last one. Just ask AT&T and CNN. At a minimum, having Trump win after endorsing Harris invites a very unfriendly regulatory environment — and probably a lot worse than that. This is a bad sign well in advance of whatever happens on November 5th. And it’s an important reminder that without actually doing anything, he threatens, he sends a message, and the message is received. I will say again, we can’t know for a certainty why the Post is choosing not to endorse anyone this year. But, seriously, what other possible explanation could there be? They’re afraid of antagonizing the Trump supporters in their reader base? Does that count for the LA Times too? Seriously, it doesn’t pass the laugh test. We know what’s going on here.”
