Washington Post columnist Michele Norris is the latest esteemed WaPo employee to resign over owner Jeff Bezos’ decision to scrap a planned Kamala Harris endorsement in the presidential race. Norris had been with the paper for five years in her role as a columnist and consultant for Post Opinions and previously worked as a reporter for the Post in the beginning of her career.

“As of yesterday, I have decided to resign from my role as a columnist for The Washington Post — a newspaper that I love. In a moment like this, everyone needs to make their own decisions,” she wrote in a post on X explaining why she’s stepping down.
