New York Times endorses Hillary Clinton for Democratic nomination

New York, Jan 30: The New York Times on Saturday endorsed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.

"The Times editorial board endorses Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination," the paper said in a tweet.

Noting Clinton would be the first woman nominated by a major party, an opinion piece, by the Editorial Board, said: ".. she served as a senator from a major state (New York) and as secretary of state — not to mention her experience on the national stage as first lady with her brilliant and flawed husband, President Bill Clinton.

"The Times editorial board has endorsed her three times for federal office — twice for Senate and once in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary — and is doing so again with confidence and enthusiasm."
