Miami Herald Announces Endorsement of Hillary Clinton in Presidential Election

As Florida looks again to be one of the crucial states that will decide the next President of the United States, one South Florida media outlet is putting its support behind a specific candidate.

The Miami Herald on Friday published its endorsement for Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton, choosing the former Senator and Secretary of State over Republican Party nominee and businessman Donald Trump.

In their endorsement, the paper cited what they say is Clinton’s experience while calling Trump a “damaged human being.”

“Ms. Clinton is a pragmatic, tough-minded woman of accomplishment and political conviction with a demonstrated mastery of policy,” the paper wrote. “Mr. Trump is the elite, one who has managed to talk a good game to fire up frustrated and frightened mostly white Americans with a campaign of hate and xenophobia.”

The Herald endorsed President Barack Obama both in 2008 and 2012. The other major newspaper in the area, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, endorsed Clinton last month after supporting Republican nominee Mitt Romney in 2012.
