More than 90 business leaders endorse Kamala Harris for president

Wall Street and corporate America are not exactly known for embracing uncertainty, a characteristic possibly at play as more than 90 business leaders on Friday announced they are backing Kamala Harris for president, saying the vice president would “continue to advance fair and predictable policies that support the rule of law, stability and a sound business environment.” 

The Democrat’s election “is the best way to support the continued strength, security and reliability of our democracy and economy,” the current and former corporate heads — a former professional basketball player among them — stated on Friday in jointly endorsing the Democratic presidential nominee. 

Among those signing the letter released to CBS News: billionaire Mark Cuban, Earvin “Magic” Johnson and former 21st Century Fox CEO James Murdoch. Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of former Apple CEO Steve Jobs and head of the Emerson Collective, is also supporting Harris, along with the former heads of ********* Express, Merck, Starbucks and Yahoo.

CNBC first reported on the letter supporting Harris.

*********** presidential nominee Donald Trump also has support from a number of prominent corporate figures and investors. They include Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick, billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, casino tycoon Steve Wynn and venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, among others.  

We endorse Kamala Harris’s election as President of the ******* States.

Her election is the best way to support the continued strength, security, and reliability of our democracy and economy. With Kamala Harris in the White House, the business community can be confident that it will have a President who wants ********* industries to thrive. As a partner to President Biden, Vice President Harris has a strong record of advancing actions to spur business investment in the ******* States and ensure ********* businesses can compete and win in the global market. She will continue to advance fair and predictable policies that support the rule of law, stability, and a sound business environment, and she will strive to give every ********* the opportunity to pursue the ********* dream.
