The New York Times discontinues candidate endorsements in New York state and local races.
The New York Times has ceased endorsing candidates in New York state and local races, effective immediately. This decision impacts endorsements for New York congressional or Senate races this fall and the mayoral race next year. The paper's Opinion section will continue providing insightful commentary and analysis on key races, candidates, and issues. This move follows a trend among newspapers to discontinue candidate endorsements, driven by concerns about potentially alienating readers and conserving limited editorial resources. The Times' editorial board will still make endorsements in presidential races and outside of New York.
