"Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election. What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias. Ending them is a principled decision, and it’s the right one," Bezos wrote in a nine-paragraph article published on the Post's website Monday night. "I wish we had made the change earlier than we did, in a moment further from the election and the emotions around it," Bezos wrote. There is no connection between it and our decision on presidential endorsements, and any suggestion otherwise is false."

Amember of staff hands flyers with picture of Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba before his election campaign speech in Tokyo on October 26, 2024. Voters delivered a "harsh judgement" to the LDP, in the words of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. Following that result, parties have 30 days to try to form a coalition government and pick a prime minister. It's still unclear what the exact makeup of a coalition government could look like, clouding the outlook for both economic policy and Ishiba's fate. Thong predicted there will be no significant changes to the country's defense policy, although he pointed out that "a major increase in [defense] exports may be challenging."

Bad Bunny’s post Sunday was the first indication of support from the artist as the Harris campaign tries to shore up celebrity endorsements. And it came as outrage built over remarks made by Tony Hinchcliffe, a comedian and podcast host, assailing Puerto Rico at Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden. A representative for Bad Bunny told CNN that his repost of Harris’ video on Instagram was “not an endorsement,” but that he is “supporting” Harris. “Benito’s political focus has always been on Puerto Rico,” his representative told CNN.

The campaign also spent a little more than $43,000 on Ubers since August 2022. D’Esposito campaign spokesman Matt Capp called the five-figure Uber charge “a filing error which will be corrected and does not represent an Uber invoice.”In one eyebrow-raising section of the filings, the campaign spent nearly $600 for a hostel in Edinburgh, Scotland, on Memorial Day this year. But there is no clear connection between much of the D’Esposito campaign’s spending at those establishments and official campaign fundraising events. Santos was expelled from Congress in December of last year and recently pled guilty to aggravated identity theft and wire fraud charges stemming from, among other things, misusing campaign funds during his 2022 midterm campaign.
