Kamala Harris’ lack of key endorsements may signal challenges for her campaign

Democratic presidential candidates over the years could count on many things heading into Election Day. Near or at the top are major union and newspaper endorsements.

But some of those vital stamps of approval are suddenly not rolling in for Kamala Harris, and it’s becoming a painful trend for this flailing campaign.

The biggest blow came Friday when The Washington Post, a newspaper that has never endorsed a Republican presidential candidate in its entire history, announced it will not endorse Harris or Trump for president.

Yup, the same publication that endorsed Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale won’t back the 2024 Democratic nominee.

Think about this for a moment: To boost Harris, many in the media — including WaPo itself — have been comparing Donald Trump to Hitler (again). The Washington Post’s gems go back to the 2016 campaign.

September 2016: “Don’t compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. It belittles Hitler.”

To that end, is this hedging by these papers meant to avoid publicly backing a losing candidate who’s going backward in a hurry?

The unions aren’t breaking out the pom-poms for Kamala either.

And that’s a strong sign her campaign is in a free-fall.

Meanwhile, Trump, the happier warrior of late, has impressive momentum as we head into November.

The joy is clearly gone for the Kamala Harris campaign — along with the endorsements she needs from voices Democrats have always had in the bag.
