The Los Angeles Times, the largest newspaper in California, has decided not to endorse a presidential candidate in the 2024 election, a decision made by the paper's owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong. This marks the first time since 2008 that the newspaper will abstain from endorsing a candidate. The LA Times has historically endorsed Democratic candidates such as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the Biden-Harris ticket in 2020.
