The New Yorker has endorsed Hillary Clinton to be the next president of the United States (US).

In an article published by its editors, the magazine praised Clinton, the first woman to accept a major party's presidential nomination in the US.

Speaking about Clinton it states, "The election of Hillary Clinton is an event that we would welcome for its historical importance, and greet with indescribable relief." It goes on to say, "On every issue of consequence, including economic policy, the environment, and foreign affairs, Hillary Clinton is a distinctly capable candidate: experienced, serious, schooled, resilient."

"She has been a pioneer throughout her life, and yet her career cannot be easily reduced to one transcendent myth: she has been an idealist and a liberal incrementalist, a glass-ceiling-smashing lawyer and a cautious establishmentarian, a wife and mother, a First Lady, a rough-and-tumble political operator, a senator, a Secretary of State."

Describing Hillary as "inspirational figure, a pragmatist and a Democratic moderate", the NY asserts, her "story is about walking through flames and emerging changed, warier and more determined". 

The paper also praised Clinton for choice in her VP running mate, Tim Kaine, who it called "a highly capable politician with a record of genuine compassion".

Mincing no words, the magazine described Donald Trump as a "trash-talking, burn-it-to-the-ground demagogue" who is "unqualified and unfit for office".

"It will be especially gratifying to have a woman as commander-in-chief after such a sickeningly sexist and racist campaign, one that exposed so starkly how far our society has to go," it stated.

"The vileness of her opponent’s rhetoric and his (Donald Trump) record has been so widely aired that we can only hope she will be able to use her office and her impressive resolve to battle prejudice wherever it may be found."

"He favours conspiracy theory and fantasy, deriving his knowledge from the darker recesses of the Internet and 'the shows'."

Dreading the idea of a President Donald Trump, it reminded that as commander-in-chief he would control "nuclear codes, appoint judges, propose legislation, and conduct foreign policy" and added, "The prospect of such a President—erratic, empty, cruel, intolerant, and corrupt—represents a form of national emergency."

On the other hand, the prospect of a President Hillary Clinton, "could change the nation in deeply consequential ways" which it asserts  would be a "thrilling possibility for all Americans".

The Washington PostNew York Times, Dallas Morning News and Chicago Sun-Times have also officially endorsed Clinton.
