The Washington Post has become the latest US newspaper to endorse Hillary Clinton for the White House, saying it was swayed as much by her competence as the disastrous specter of a Donald Trump presidency.
“Hillary Clinton has the potential to be an excellent president of the United States, and we endorse her without hesitation,” the influential US daily writes, adding, “no, we are not making this endorsement simply because Ms. Clinton’s chief opponent is dreadful.”
Clinton, in contrast, “is dogged, resilient, purposeful and smart,” the newspaper writes, while acknowledging her many political and personal missteps in the past — failings it said are outweighed by her strengths.
“She has executive experience. She does not let her feelings get in the way of the job at hand. She is well positioned to get something done,” the daily writes.

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
