The paper said that the two women were “best equipped to lead” the debate between the progressive and centrist arms of the party
, “An honor!” while Warren hooked her response to something she pointed out during last week’s debate when she said, “The only people on this stage who have won every single election that they’ve been in are women: Amy and me.” On Sunday night, “So, I guess Amy Klobuchar and I are now both undefeated in elections and undefeated in New York Times endorsements!”
On Monday, editorial board member Mara Gay told MSNBC that is was obvious the board was “extremely torn.” Further explaining that the split decision was “a symptom of [the Democrats] having a very strong field.”“First of all, I just want to say that we understand that not everyone is going to agree with the endorsement, that’s perfectly fine. This is really about empowering voters.
Gay continued, “I just want to pull back a second. Not a single vote has been cast. So, I do think we felt a responsibility to allow voters to really have their say in this process.” Jackson next inquired about the telecast, calling it an “unprecedented level of transparency” and asking if the Times would do it again. She also asked if there was concern that it “perpetuates a reality TV mentality?”
“I personally found it to be quite refreshing,” Gay replied. “As journalists, we really push for disclosure among public officials, all the time, and transparency. And I think this was part of the process that, all criticism aside, has really worked well. It’s what voters deserve.”
