Voters have countless reasons to reject Donald Trump on policy and principle alone, such as his vow to repeal Obamacare and order mass deportations, his fondness for dictators and tax cuts for billionaires, his 34 felony convictions, his promise to deploy military force against protesters, his climate nihilism, his appalling pandemic management, his role in abolishing reproductive rights, and his attempt to overthrow the government by violence – to name a few.

But the most powerful indictment comes from those who have worked with him closely, shell-shocked Republicans who joined his administration and came away horrified after spending years inside the chemical spill of his wretched presidency.

They are uniquely qualified to foretell the nightmare scenario that may lie ahead -- dozens of them from the highest echelons of the Trump Administration -- and they have one warning: The country cannot make another catastrophic mistake by electing Donald Trump in 15 days.

We endorse Kamala Harris in the Nov. 5 election, not only because she has the intellect, judgment, temperament, and policy priorities for the presidency, but because we have been warned of the imminent danger Trump poses to our nation.

I'm so proud of them. Worked at The Star-Ledger as a reporter back in the 1980s.

They aren't MAGA but typically endorse the GOP.

Edit: they are center left, https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/star-ledger/

I'm from South Jersey but been in NYC for years.

4. Oh

Ok, I thought they were center-right. But this claims center left with high factuality. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/star-ledger/

5. Center-left is what I would have guessed

2. Kudos to the newspaper for this bit

and his attempt to overthrow the government by violence

All too often (and always in WaPo, which I don't read anymore), TSF's attempt to violently overthrow our duly elected government is simply and falsely referred to only as "an attempt to overturn the election."
