With a little over two weeks to go before the New Hampshire primary, the Boston Globe announced Sunday evening its endorsement of Hillary Clinton, saying it’s “her time” to lead the nation.

The Globe's editorial board writes, “America looks different in 2016 than it did the last time Hillary Clinton ran for president,” and goes on to detail concerns about the nation’s economy and military, as well as strides made on equality and health care.


The newspaper's endorsement also details how the Globe editors believe Clinton would be the best candidate to protect and extend President Barack Obama’s legacy. The paper endorsed Obama over Clinton in 2008.

“Today, the nation has new challenges, which require a different kind of leader — someone who can keep what Obama got right, while also fixing his failures, especially on gun control and immigration reform. That will require a focus and toughness that Obama sometimes lacked,” the editorial states. "This is Clinton’s time, and the Globe enthusiastically endorses her in the Feb. 9 Democratic primary in New Hampshire."

The endorsement follows that of the Des Moines Register on Saturday, and the Concord Monitor earlier on Sunday.

The Concord Monitor said Clinton is the only Democratic candidate who "is truly qualified to hold the job."
