'Meanwhile, his administration has been unforgivably slow to provide testing, and to mobilize treatment to all who will need it. These weeks have been a reminder — as if we needed a reminder — that America must choose a new president.'
British-born Wintour, who has helmed American Vogue for more than three decades, developed a longstanding relationship with Barack Obama during his White House tenure, holding high-rolling fundraisers for the Democratic former president.
She also had a heavy hand in Hillary Clinton's ultimately failed election bid in 2016, raising money for the former secretary of state as well as launching a voter registration drive.
Wintour was directly impacted by the pandemic earlier this month when her doctor son, Charlie, had contracted coronavirus after working to fight the deadly illness in New York City.
She shared the news in a video posted on the Vogue Instagram account, explaining that the 35-year-old father-of-two was 'quite ill' and quarantining at home until he could return to the ICU at his hospital.

'I am so proud of him and so grateful to all the health workers, first responders, nurses and doctors who are fighting to reduce the spread of the virus and to save lives,' she said.
Charles, who has two daughters with his wife Lizzy, is a Chief Resident at Weill Cornell in New York City, the U.S. epicenter of the virus.
As of Monday, New York City has more than 156,000 confirmed coronavirus cases. There have been 11,700 confirmed deaths and 5,228 probable deaths.
Wintour recently credited her daughter-in-law, Lizzy, with her newfound interest in running amid the global crisis.
She spoke about her time in quarantine with Naomi Campbell on her YouTube series No Filter With Naomi last Wednesday, revealing she has been trying to exercise more while in lockdown.
'I've taken up running,' she said. 'My daughter-in-law is a runner and she told me, "Ꮃell үοu ϳust ѕhould rսn аѕ much аѕ үօur body ⅼets ｙߋu."'
Wintour admitted that her new hobby hasn't been the easiest one to embrace, joking that her 'body keeps telling her to stop rather than run.'
'I'm working on it,' she said. 'I am [enjoying running]. I'm very lucky in that I'm able to run inside. My heart really goes out to people that are stuck in small apartments and confined spaces.
'I feel lucky that I can just run for the hour. It's a great release for me.'
