The New York Times editorial board on Sunday night endorsed Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Amy Klobuchar as the Democratic candidate for president.
In an op-ed called "The Democrats best choices for president," the editorial board said that after spending over 12 hours discussing who should be the Democratic nominee, they landed on Warren and Klobuchar based on their different visions for the future of the country.
"The history of the editorial board would suggest that we would side squarely with the candidate with a more traditional approach to pushing the nation forward, within the realities of a constitutional framework and a multiparty country," they wrote. "But the events of the past few years have shaken the confidence of even the most committed institutionalists. We are not veering away from the values we espouse, but we are rattled by the weakness of the institutions that we trusted to undergird those values."
"Both the radical and the realist models warrant serious consideration," they added. "If there were ever a time to be open to new ideas, it is now. If there were ever a time to seek stability, now is it."
This is a developing story.
