I heard an interview with Jeffrey Goldberg, the Editor in Chief, and he pointed out that The Atlantic has only made five POTUS endorsements in its century and a half plus history: Lincoln in 1860 (obvious stakes there), LBJ in 1964 (note that was against Goldwater), Clinton in 2016, Biden in 2020, and Harris in 2024. And the reason for the last three is all the same -- TCF is totally unfit for office and a danger to The Republic.
