90 Big CEOs Declare Support for Harris
More than 90 corporate CEOs and 100 current and former law enforcement officials have officially endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris.
According to Reuters, current and former CEOs of about 90 companies announced in an open letter that they would support Vice President Harris in the presidential election in November.
Harris’s supporters include billionaire investor and owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team Mark Cuban and former 21st Century Fox CEO James Murdoch. Other notable supporters include Laurene Powell Jobs, wife of the late Apple founder Steve Jobs and head of Emerson Collective, as well as CEOs from global pharmaceutical company Merck, insurance company Aetna, world’s No. 1 domain management company GoDaddy, and world’s largest private equity fund Blackstone.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney, a Republican and a representative figure of the U.S. neoconservatives, also announced that he would vote for Vice President Harris, according to the New York Times (NYT) and other sources.
Current and former CEOs cited stability as the reason for supporting Vice President Harris. In their letter, they emphasized that “candidate Harris has a strong track record of promoting investment in the United States and making American companies competitive in global markets,” and that “she will advance fair and predictable policies that support the rule of law, stability, and a strong business environment.”
Goldman Sachs recently predicted in a report that if Vice President Harris is elected, the U.S. job market will strengthen and GDP will slightly increase in terms of investment and growth.
