2016 US Presidential Election - The New York Times Endorses Hillary Clinton In US Presidential Race Saturday January 30,2016

Swinging behind Hillary Clinton, the New York Times Saturday January 30,2016 endorsed her "with confidence and enthusiasm" for the Democratic presidential nomination, saying she offers voters "the chance to choose one of the most broadly and deeply qualified presidential candidates in modern history".

The Times editorial board endorses Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination, the paper said in an opinion piece.

"Clinton is the right choice for the Democrats to present a vision for America that is radically different from the one that leading Republican candidates offer - a vision in which middle-class Americans have a real shot at prosperity, women's rights are enhanced, undocumented immigrants are given a chance at legitimacy, international alliances are nurtured and the country is kept safe," it said.

The NYT called Clinton a "strong advocate of sensible and effective measures to combat the plague of firearms" and that one of the most attractive parts of her economic platform is her pledge to support the "well-being and rights of working Americans", especially women.

"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," it said.

It said as secretary of state, Clinton worked "tirelessly, and with important successes, for the nation's benefit" and in combination with President Barack Obama allowed the US to "repair relations around the world that had been completely trashed by the previous administration"

NYT said: "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."
