The New York Times announces support for two candidates in the race against Trump

The American newspaper The New York Times announced its support for two women in the Race for the White House on Monday, 20. Senators Elizabeth Warren,70, and Amy Klobuchar, 59, were chosen by the journal for representing, according to the newspaper's opinion editor, two distinct approaches with chances of defeating the current president, Donald Trump, in the November election.

Since its founding in 1851, the American newspaper has endorsed Republican and Democratic presidential candidates, always merely choosing only one postulant by election. In the 2016 election, the morning supported Democrat Hillary Clinton in the race against Trump. In this election, the bet on the re-election of the Republican did not even be ventilated. The newspaper chose to suggest two Democratic pre-candidates from different wings of the party: the most moderate, in which Klobuchar travels, and the progressive, represented by Warren.

Klobuchar, so far, is a little-known candidate outside the state she represents, Minnesota. It has only 3% of the voting intentions in the national poll average, measured by the Real Clear Politicswebsite, and is described as a charismatic policy of the American Midwest. The Times would have options between pre-candidates, but still preferred a moderate woman.

"Klobuchar talks about climate change, the flattening of the middle class, gun politics and trade with an empathy that connects with voters' life experiences, especially in the midwest of the country," the newspaper said.

The Minnesota senator promises to zero carbon emissions by 2050 and, unlike Trump, wants to make a foreign policy led by example. The current president, by contrast, uses "threats on Twitter" as a way to design the United States into the world.

Warren explained,"speaks elegantly about how the economic system is against all Americans but the richest, and about 'our chance to rewrite the rules of power in our country,' as she said in a speech last month."

A former Republican, Warren wants to increase the bargaining power of workers against large corporations and the state's presence on issues such as universal health for children, free education and the expansion of social care. The candidate still promises to break the power of the big silicon valley corporations. The most warren-like option would be Senator Bernie Sanders, deprecified by the morning.

The newspaper opines that, despite its choice, a moderate strong voice is missing within the Democratic Party, which highlights the fracture in the legend between moderates and radicals.

Mentioning former Vice President Joe Biden,the Times says he wants to take the United States to a time before Trump's arrival at the White House to restore the normality of institutions. But for the newspaper, "restoring the status quo will not lead the country where it needs to go as a society." Another point that weighed in was his age: Biden is almost otagenário, at the age of 77. "It's time for him to pass the baton to a new generation of political leaders," he said.
