Jeff Bezos Praises Donald Trump’s ‘Extraordinary Comeback’ After Tech Mogul Spiked Washington Post’s Presidential Endorsement


Jeff Bezos congratulated Donald Trump on his victory, after a major backlash over Bezos' decision to end Washington Post presidential endorsements.

The comments by the Amazon founder and one of the world’s richest people came after Bezos fomented a major backlash when he decreed that the Washington Post, the iconic newspaper he bought more than a decade ago, would not endorse a U.S. presidential candidate this year. “Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory,” Bezos wrote in a post on X, the social platform owned by Trump supporter Elon Musk. The Post’s editorial board had reportedly already drafted an endorsement of VP Kamala Harris before word came down last week that Bezos was ending the practice.
