The Washington Post is facing a revolt not only among its staff and editorial board but also among its most anti-Trump subscribers. Following the newspaper’s decision—influenced by owner and tech billionaire Jeff Bezos—not to endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential race, The Post has seen over 200,000 digital readers cancel their subscriptions as of Monday afternoon.
With a total readership estimated to be around 2.5 million, The Washington Post has seen nearly 10 percent of its total subscriber base evaporate in a matter of days. The Post has struggled to remain financially viable in recent years and largely relies on cash injections from Bezos to stay afloat.
