Liz Cheney Cancels Washington Post Amid Backlash Over No Endorsement

Oct 28, 2024

Liz Cheney says she has canceled her subscription to the Washington Post after the publication announced that it will no longer endorse presidential candidates.

The former Republican Rep. from Wyoming spoke to The New Yorker editor David Remnick at the 25th annual New Yorker Festival on Saturday. She discussed her experiences campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of next month’s election that pits Harris against former President Donald Trump. Cheney also addressed the Post, which is owned by Jeff Bezos, announcing in a statement Friday that the outlet is “returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates,” marking the first time since 1988 that it has not endorsed one.

Cheney said onstage, “On the issue of the Washington Post, look, first of all, it’s fear.” She continued, “When you have Jeff Bezos apparently afraid to issue an endorsement for the only candidate in the race who’s a stable responsible adult because he fears Donald Trump, that tells you why we have to work so hard to make sure that Donald Trump isn’t elected.”

She added, “And I think also, why we ought to not forget what has happened, forget who’s taken brave and courageous stands. And I canceled my subscription to the Washington Post, just saying.”

Cheney, who has been vocal for years in her criticism of Trump, is the latest notable figure to weigh in on the controversy surrounding the Post’s lack of endorsement. Former Post employees Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein criticized the decision on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, while author Stephen King noted Friday that he had canceled his Post subscription after five years.

The Post’s announcement followed debate earlier in the week surrounding the Los Angeles Times deciding not to endorse a presidential candidate in the 2024 race.
