Second Washington Post writer quits over failure to back Kamala Harris

Columnist Michele Norris says paper’s decision to withhold endorsement in US election was ‘terrible mistake’

A second high-profile Washington Post columnist has stepped down after the newspaper’s decision not to support Kamala Harris for president, as more readers announced the cancellation of their subscriptions.

Michele Norris, an opinion contributor at the Post and the first Black female host for National Public Radio (NPR), called the non-endorsement a “terrible mistake”.
