Donald Trump joins a long list of presidential nominees who have failed to impress The Atlantic.
Since its founding in 1857, the policy magazine had only endorsed two candidates for the presidency: Abraham Lincoln and Lyndon B. Johnson. Hillary Clinton became the third candidate on Wednesday when The Atlantic posted its endorsement online.
“Hillary Rodham Clinton has more than earned, through her service to the country as first lady, as a senator from New York, and as secretary of state, the right to be taken seriously as a White House contender,” The Atlantic editors wrote for their November 2016 issue.
After providing a brief history of its past endorsements, The Atlantic shared the same views of the 2016 general electorate.
“We are impressed by many of the qualities of the Democratic Party’s nominee for president, even as we are exasperated by others, but we are mainly concerned with the Republican Party’s nominee, Donald J. Trump,” the magazine wrote.
