Kristof Denies Future Run as New York Times Adds Notes to 9 Columns

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 13

Nine Nicholas Kristof columns now carry editors’ notes after a New York Times review found missing disclosures about people he covered who had donated to his 2021 Oregon governor campaign.
Kristof said he has “zero plans” to seek elected office again and called the scrutiny a bad-faith attack tied to backlash over his recent column on alleged abuse of Palestinians in Israeli prisons.
About $890,000 remains in Oregon Strong, a PAC run by his wife that received $992,031 from his campaign in 2022; state records show only a $100,000 charity donation and a $2,000 political contribution since then.
Those dormant funds and the donor-disclosure issues have fueled questions from watchdogs and political operatives about whether Kristof could mount another run while working under the Times’ ethics rules.
