The most prominent and liberal newspapers in the United States, The New York Times and The Washington Post, have made their predictions about the upcoming presidential elections public. While The Washington Post has endorsed Kamala Harris as the "only patriotic choice for president," The New York Times has expressed concern about the potential reelection of Donald Trump.
According to analyses and polls, Trump is positioned as the favorite in the betting, and the worry about a victory of the current president is present in the media and among analysts. Although Kamala Harris initially had some momentum in the polls, this trend has been reversing, showing a minimal lead over her opponent, Joe Biden.
The editorial debate between The Washington Post and The New York Times has gained relevance, especially in the case of The Los Angeles Times, where its owner prohibited an editorial supporting Harris, generating controversy among the staff of the outlet. Furthermore, the hesitance to support a specific candidate reflects the fears of the newspaper owners regarding potential consequences for their businesses.
The uncertainty regarding the outcome of the elections is evident, especially recalling what happened in 2016 with Hillary Clinton. Although Harris has maintained a slight lead in the polls, the competition remains close, and the reality is that no one can predict with certainty who will be the winner on November 5th. The media and analysts agree that Trump has the momentum on his side, but the real question is who will emerge with the final victory.
