A spokesperson said the paper will focus on providing facts so readers can make up their own minds who to vote for.

USA Today, along with several hundred other publications under the Gannett-controlled USA Today Network, will not endorse a candidate in this yearโ€™s presidential election, with a spokesperson saying that the paper will focus on providing facts so readers can make up their own minds who to vote for.

Lark-Marie Anton, USA Today spokesperson, told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement that the newspaper will not endorse in presidential or national races, with the move marking a departure from the 2020 election cycle, in which the publication backed President Joe Biden.

In 2016, USA Today took sides in the presidential race for the first time since its founding in 1982, urging readers not to vote for then-presidential candidate Donald Trump but stopping short of endorsing rival Hillary Clinton, citing โ€œserious reservationsโ€ about her suitability for the role of commander-in-chief.

Besides USA Today, the more than 200 other outlets under the USA Today Networkโ€”like the Arizona Republic and the Detroit Free Pressโ€”will likewise not make presidential or national endorsements, though local editors might still back candidates in other races.

โ€œWhile USA TODAY will not endorse for president, local editors at publications across the USA TODAY Network have the discretion to endorse at a state or local level,โ€ Anton said. โ€œMany have decided not to endorse individual candidates, but rather, endorse key local and state issues on the ballot that impact the community.

โ€œWhy are we doing this? Because we believe Americaโ€™s future is decided locallyโ€“one race at a time.

โ€œAnd with more than 200 publications across the nation, our public service is to provide readers with the facts that matter and the trusted information they need to make informed decisions.โ€

With the move, USA Today and its constellation of affiliated publications join The Washington Post and L.A. Times, which have both declined to throw their weight behind either former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race.
