"Americans would be gambling with the economy, the rule of law and international peace" by electing Trump, the newspaper said.
The Economist has weighed in on the presidential race, warning that a second Trump presidency carries “an unacceptable risk to America and the world.”
“By making Mr Trump leader of the free world, Americans would be gambling with the economy, the rule of law and international peace,” the weekly newspaper said in an editorial published Thursday that endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president. “If The Economist had a vote, we would cast it for Ms Harris.”
The outlet acknowledged that some may disregard its warning of Trump as “alarmist,” noting that economically, “our worst fears” about Trump’s first term “did not come to pass” and the economy grew during his four years in the White House.
“Even when Mr Trump behaved abominably by fomenting an attack on the Capitol to try to stop the transfer of power on January 6th 2021, America’s institutions held firm,” the paper said.
