On the time, the Submit-Gazette instructed readers that Trump "will not be Churchill, to make sure, however he will get issues executed."

"This newspaper has not supported a Republican for president since 1972. However we imagine Mr. Trump, for all his faults, is the higher selection this yr," the Submit-Gazette editorial board wrote in Oct. 2020. "We respect and perceive those that really feel in any other case. We want that we could possibly be extra enthusiastic and we hope the president can turn into extra dignified and statesmanlike. Every American should make up his or her personal thoughts and do what she or he thinks is finest for the group and the republic. Vote your conscience. And, no matter occurs, imagine within the nation."

The Submit-Gazette, like a number of different distinguished newspapers, shunned making a presidential endorsement in the course of the 2024 election cycle.
