The top local stories this morning from KERA News:For the first time in almost 75 years, the Dallas Morning News has endorsed a Democrat for president.
The editorial supporting Hillary Clinton was published this morning. The endorsement was foreshadowed by an editorial yesterday titled “Donald Trump is no Republican.”
The editorial board says the decision to endorse Clinton was not easy to make, but that Trump’s values were “hostile to conservatism.”
