Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : In 2019, Trump stepped in when the Department of Defense appeared to be on the verge of awarding a multibillion-dollar cloud-computing contract to Amazon, the company Bezos founded.
36% : The Post's endorsement of Harris would likely have made no more difference to Trump than the newspaper's endorsements of Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020.
33% : What's more, credit where it's due: Bezos remained steadfast even when Trump tried to use the power of the presidency to threaten his business interests.
23% : The widely suggested notion that Bezos pulled the Post's endorsement out of fear or anticipatory obeisance to Trump seems like a stretch to me.
11% : Trump has many reasons to despise the Post -- thanks to its Pulitzer Prize-winning news coverage of him and its editorial criticism of him -- that a Harris endorsement would have been a non-issue.
