The New York Times has endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton in her bid to become her party’s presidential candidate, describing her as "one of the most broadly and deeply qualified candidates in modern history.”
The newspaper wrote that Clinton’s “pledge to support the well-being and rights of working Americans” was the most attractive part of her economic platform.
“Her lifelong fight for women bolsters her credibility in this area, since so many of the problems with labor law hit women the hardest, including those involving child care, paid sick leave, unstable schedules and low wages for tipped workers.” The paper wrote on Sunday.
Hillary Clinton, 68, is her party’s frontrunner in the US presidential race.
The liberal newspaper wrote in its endorsement of the former first lady: “Mrs. Clinton is keenly aware of the wage gap for women, especially for women of color. It’s not just that she’s done her homework — Mrs. Clinton has done her homework on pretty much any subject you’d care to name.
“Her knowledge comes from a commitment to issues like reproductive rights that is decades old. She was well ahead of Mr. Sanders in calling for repeal of the Hyde Amendment, which severely limits federal money to pay for abortions for poor women.”
