USA Today told news outlets on Monday that it would not endorse a presidential candidate this cycle or in any national races. The outlet follows the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post in doing the same for the presidential race.

“None of the USA TODAY Network publications are endorsing in presidential or national races,” a spokeswoman for USA Today, Lark-Marie Antón, told the Hill on Monday.

WHO HAS AND HASN’T ENDORSED HARRIS AND TRUMP THIS ELECTION CYCLE

“While USA TODAY will not endorse for president, local editors at publications across the USA TODAY Network have the discretion to endorse at a state or local level,” Antón said. “Many have decided not to endorse individual candidates, but rather, endorse key local and state issues on the ballot that impact the community.”

Unlike the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times, USA Today encompasses hundreds of publications across the United States. Some large outlets, such as the Detroit Free Press, Arizona Republic, and the Des Moines Register, are included in that.

“Why are we doing this? Because we believe America’s future is decided locally — one race at a time,” Antón continued. “And with more than 200 publications across the nation, our public service is to provide readers with the facts that matter and the trusted information they need to make informed decisions.”

Outlets that have chosen not to endorse have received backlash inside and outside the newsroom. The Los Angeles Times and Washington Post have seen editorial board members step down as a result of their decisions, and the latter publication saw thousands of subscribers cancel their subscriptions.

Another outlet, the Tampa Bay Times, joined USA Today in not endorsing any national or presidential candidates. “We cannot think of a single reader who has told the Editorial Board over the past election cycle that they needed our help deciding on how to vote for president,” it wrote in an op-ed explaining the decision.

Florida is not a swing state this election cycle, but it is still projected to be competitive, along with its Senate race between incumbent Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell.
