This morning, a second Washington Post editor has resigned from the editorial board following the paper's decision not to endorse a Presidential candidate in this year's election. Molly Roberts, a member of the Post's editorial staff, has officially resigned her position today days after the Washington Post Editor At Large stepped down from his position with the paper. Roberts wrote about technology and science.

The Washington Post decided against endorsing in the presidential race despite doing so in every election over the past 30 years. The reason behind the failure to endorse stems from Jeff Bezos, the owner of the Washington Post, who, according to reports, chose to block the endorsement of Vice President Harris.

According to reports, the endorsement of Vice President Harris was written, but the editorial staff did not have a chance to vote on whether to issue it. The same day the news about the Post's failure to endorse broke, executives of Bezos' space flight company, Blue Origin, met with former President Donald Trump.

The Washington Post is not the only newspaper that failed to endorse this cycle. The LA Times also chose against endorsing Vice President Harris because its owner blocked the endorsement, leading to three editors resigning from the paper.
