''The New York Times''{{'}}s editorial board was initially opposed to liberal beliefs, opposing [[Women's suffrage in the United States|women's suffrage]] in 1900 and 1914. The editorial board began to espouse progressive beliefs during Oakes' tenure, conflicting with the Ochs-Sulzberger family, of which Oakes was a member as [[Adolph Ochs]]'s nephew; in 1976, Oakes publicly disavowed with Sulzberger's endorsement of [[Daniel Patrick Moynihan]] over [[Bella Abzug]] in the [[1976 United States Senate election in New York#Democratic primary|1976 Senate Democratic primaries]] in a letter sent from [[Martha's Vineyard]]. Under Rosenthal, the editorial board took positions supporting [[Assault weapons legislation in the United States|assault weapons legislation]] and the [[Legalization of non-medical cannabis in the United States|legalization of marijuana]], but publicly criticized the [[Obama administration]] over its portrayal of terrorism.{{Sfn|Dunlap|2016b}} Since 1960, ''The New York Times'' has [[List of United States presidential election endorsements made by The New York Times|endorsed]] Democratic candidates, supporting a total of twelve Republican candidates and thirty Democratic candidates.{{Sfn|Adams|Louttit|Taylor|2016}}{{Sfn|The Editorial Board|2020}}{{Efn|In 1896, the ''Times'' endorsed [[John M.
