multiple people on the editorial board resigned so i'm not sure it was the boards decision more than the billionaire owners decision. Link
A decision by the owner of the Los Angeles Times not to endorse in the 2024 presidential race — after the paper’s board proposed backing Kamala Harris — has created a tempest, prompting three members of The Times editorial board to resign and provoking thousands of readers to cancel their subscriptions.
The liberals in solid solid blue states freak out if you even imply that you aren't fully enthusiastic about checking that Kamala box to "save democracy" or whatever. Anything short of full support, regardless of context, breaks their brain.
My gut feeling is that these are some not voting for biden is voting for trump types who may stand to benefit from trump winning whether they admit it or not
