The editorial board lauded Clinton for her stances on a range of issues, and promised to lay out a detailed case against Trump on Monday.

“Through war and recession, Americans born since 9/11 have had to grow up fast, and they deserve a grown-up president,” the board wrote.

“A lifetime’s commitment to solving problems in the real world qualifies Hillary Clinton for this job, and the country should put her to work.”

The editorial board lauded Clinton's record as first lady, senator and secretary of State and for her willingness to work across the aisle.

"Mrs. Clinton has shown herself to be a realist who believes America cannot simply withdraw behind oceans and walls, but must engage confidently in the world to protect its interests and be true to its values, which include helping others escape poverty and oppression," the Times wrote.

It also acknowledged Clinton's "mistakes" during her time in public life.

"She has evinced a lamentable penchant for secrecy and made a poor decision to rely on a private email server while at the State Department," the editorial reads.

"That decision deserved scrutiny, and it’s had it. Now, considered alongside the real challenges that will occupy the next president, that email server, which has consumed so much of this campaign, looks like a matter for the help desk.

"And, viewed against those challenges, Mr. Trump shrinks to his true small-screen, reality-show proportions, as we’ll argue in detail on Monday."
