The @nytimes editorial board tonight announced we are endorsing Senators Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren for the Democratic nomination for president. We hope you’ll read our full endorsement. Here’s more on why we chose these two candidates. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
The @nytopinion editorial board spent more than a dozen hours meeting with leading contenders for the Democratic nomination. We understand our opportunity to endorse, a more than 150-year-old tradition, as a deeply serious, privileged one.
We found ourselves torn, something we see among voters, too. Right now, the country is being presented with three different visions for America’s future. Democrats are choosing between two different visions, and the debate about which of this is the right one is unsettled.
One vision believes we can return to a more sensible America. The other calls for radical overhaul. But in this moment when democracy is being sorely tested, both radical and realist models warrant serious consideration.
After sitting down with nine candidates, we found Senators @ElizabethWarren and @AmyKlobuchar to be the most effective advocates for these two different approaches. 
Endorsements can help educate voters on national and local candidates and lead to better-informed decisions at the ballot box. The point is to inform our readers, not to help a candidate in the polls. We believe this endorsement is more helpful to a wider range of voters.
As I’ve said before, not everyone will agree with our decision or the thinking behind it. Our goal from the beginning was to provide an informed view through reasoned analysis and open debate among the 15 opinion journalists who participated in the endorsement interviews.
Read our endorsement, watch @theweekly, delve into annotated transcripts of the interviews and go behind the scenes in our podcast, The Choice. We hope to have helped shine a light on the issues animating this primary. May the best woman win. nytimes.com/interactive/20…]
