The influential Washington Post newspaper announced Friday it will endorse neither Democrat Kamala Harris nor Republican Donald Trump in the US presidential election.

CEO William Lewis said this was a return "to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates."

The Post editorial board has endorsed candidates for more than three decades before deciding to stay on the sidelines in perhaps the most polarizing election in US history.
