The Philadelphia Inquirer has endorsed Kamala Harris and said Trump has « demonstrated he is unfit » for another term in office.
Former President Donald Trump has been heavily criticized by the biggest newspaper in the key swing state of Pennsylvania in an editorial published on Election Day.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, which has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 race, warned that Trump’s « dark and deranged campaign—fueled by anger, lies, racism, hate, and misogyny—demonstrated he is unfit » for another term in office.
« Regardless of what many of his MAGA followers believe, a second Trump presidency is perilous for red and blue America », the editorial board wrote on Tuesday.
Newsweek has contacted the Trump and Harris campaign teams for comment via email.
The Philadelphia Inquirer has the largest circulation of any Pennsylvania newspaper, and ranked 18th in the country overall in 2023, according to Press Gazette figures. The Keystone State is considered the most vital of all the battleground states this election, with its 19 Electoral College votes key to both Harris’ and Trump’s election hopes.
Harris’ clearest path to victory in November would be to win the three blue wall battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, barring any shock results elsewhere.
