Jeff Bezos, the world’s second-richest man, is facing criticism from staff at The Washington Post following the newspaper’s decision to not endorse a candidate for president for the first time in 36 years.
The newspaper’s editorial page staff had written an endorsement of Kamala Harris for US president, but it was not published following a decision by Bezos, the Post’s owner, to change its policy on endorsements, according to an article in the paper.
The reversal of decades of policy comes less than two weeks before the presidential election, in which Harris and former president Donald Trump are running neck-and-neck, according to polls.
