The Economist Endorses Harris, Warns Trump Carries ‘Unacceptable Risks’

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING The Economist has weighed in on the presidential race, warning that a second Trump presidency carries “an unacceptable risk to America and the world.” “By making Mr Trump leader of the free world, Americans would be gambling with the economy, the rule of law and international peace,” the weekly newspaper said in an editorial published Thursday that endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president. “Mr Trump’s policies are worse, the world is more perilous and many of the sober, responsible people who reined in his worst instincts during his first term have been replaced by true believers, toadies and chancers,” the outlet said. She “seems indecisive and unsure” and “she has struggled to tell voters what she wants to do with power.” But she has “ordinary shortcomings, none of them disqualifying,” and has not followed Democrats’ “most left-wing ideas.” “Mr Trump’s policies are worse, the world is more perilous and many of the sober, responsible people who reined in his worst instincts during his first term have been replaced by true believers, toadies and chancers.” - The Economist “It is hard to imagine Ms Harris being a stellar president, though people can surprise you. Beddoes said it would be “weird” for the paper to not to weigh in on the election, considering “we have editorials every week advising politicians around the world on what to do.” The Economist’s U.S. editor John Prideaux also defended the paper’s endorsement in an interview with Semafor published Wednesday.
