New York Times endorses Klobuchar, Warren in Democratic race

In an unconventional move, the newspaper has endorsed U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren, from separate wings of the party.

WASHINGTON — The New York Times has endorsed not one but two candidates for the Democratic nomination for president, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar from the party's moderate wing and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren from its progressive wing. 

The paper said Sunday it had chosen the two most effective candidates from the moderate and progressive sides of the party — without stating a preference for either approach. 

In passing over Joe Biden, the paper cited his age and occasional gaffes.
