The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and the Tampa Bay Times recently announced their decisions to abstain from endorsing Harris or former President Donald Trump in 2024.

“It’s disappointing, no doubt,” Harris told host Charlamagne tha God after he asked about the outlets’ refusals to endorse. Harris then said, “It’s billionaires in Donald Trump’s club,” suggesting she believes the lack of endorsements is connected to some of the outlets’ wealthy owners, such as the Washington Post’s Jeff Bezos.

“That’s who’s in his club,” Harris said. “That’s who he hangs out with. That’s what he cares about. That’s why, when he was last president, he put in place a massive tax cut for billionaires and the biggest corporations.”

Harris did not refer to any of the publications specifically but focused more on Trump’s wealthy connections.

“His policies are not about middle-class folks,” she said. “He’s not sitting around thinking about what he can do to take care of your grandmother and your grandfather. He’s thinking about people like himself or himself and all his grievances and all that makes him angry about how he has personally been treated, as opposed to worrying about how you have been treated and what his responsibility is to lift you up.”

Harris has been endorsed by the New York Times, the Houston Chronicle, and the Boston Globe. Trump has received the nod from the New York Post, Maxim magazine, and the Washington Times.

The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times supported President Joe Biden in 2020 but decided not to back Harris in 2024. Both received backlash in response to their decisions, which came after each outlet’s editorial boards had endorsement drafts in support of Harris.

Democrats have enjoyed high-level endorsements from large news organizations in the past, but the lack of certain endorsements this election cycle could hurt Harris.
