The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette hasn’t endorsed a Republican presidential candidate since the early 70s. But they’ve proudly endorsed President Trump.
“Under Mr. Trump, our trade relationships have vastly improved and our trade deals have been rewritten,” the editors beam. “Thanks to him, middle America is on the map again and the Appalachian and hourly worker has some hope.”
The Post-Gazette adds that Trump has kept several of his campaign promises, such as appointing originalists to the Supreme Court and making America energy independent. Meanwhile, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris would offer little more than higher taxes and “Cuckoo California dreams.”
It was a welcome endorsement in a battleground state just days before the election.
Why post this the day *after* the election?
A day late and a dollar short
This is leaving out the fact the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette was bought by a major Trump donor in 2019. This is basically just some rich guy using the paper as a personal mouthpiece. It was largely an apolitical paper for decades, that’s why they never endorsed a candidate. This guy bought the paper and inserted his partisan politics into it.
