The Economist endorses Kamala Harris, cites risks of a second Trump term

The Economist has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, stating that a second term for Donald Trump poses "unacceptable risks" to the economy, rule of law, and international peace. The editorial warns that Trump's policies have become more radical since his first term. While acknowledging Harris's shortcomings, the publication argues she represents stability compared to Trump. The Economist highlights concerns over Trump's proposed tariffs, immigration policies, and tax cuts, which they believe could harm the U.S. economy. The endorsement comes amid criticism of other major outlets for not endorsing candidates. The Economist maintains that expressing opinions on candidates aligns with their role in providing informed commentary on political issues.
