Jeff Bezos blocking Kamala Harris's endorsement? Staffers ‘restless’ over Washington Post’s silence


Insiders believe Bezos may be avoiding alienating Trump as the election approaches, leaving the editorial board's endorsement in limbo.

While major media outlets, celebrities, and political pundits have already made their endorsements, The Washington Post seems to be holding back. According to the New York Post, some insiders believe that billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who has maintained silence on elections so far, may be wary of “alienating Trump as he gains traction in his bid to reclaim the presidency next month.”
