More good news for Kamala Harris
As another week ends and we inch closer to Election Day, the Harris-Walz campaign continues its winning streak of good news, including some well-deserved, key endorsements. A group of 88 corporate leaders on Friday endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, emphasizing her leadership as crucial for the stability and success of the United States.
In a joint letter, first reported by CNBC and which you can read here, individuals who lead or founded such companies as Box, Yelp, Snap, Ripple, and more made their stance clear: “We endorse Kamala Harris’s election as President of the United States. Her election is the best way to support the continued strength, security, and reliability of our democracy and economy.”
This endorsement is a welcome momentum-booster in the campaign, particularly coming from prominent business leaders who don’t often make such public political announcements. Their brief letter highlights Harris’s work with President Joe Biden, pointing out that “Vice President Harris has a strong record of advancing actions to spur business investment in the United States and ensure American businesses can compete and win in the global market.”
The letter also underscores the need for steady leadership, noting, “She will continue to advance fair and predictable policies that support the rule of law, stability, and a sound business environment.” The 88 leaders conclude by asserting that Harris will “strive to give every American the opportunity to pursue the American dream.”
This important communication to voters from the corporate world follows a stark warning issued recently by a group of 16 Nobel laureates in economics about the potential economic repercussions of a second Trump term. As I wrote in late June, these leading economists argued that Trump’s “fiscally irresponsible budgets” would likely “reignite” inflation, as Axios first reported.
The contrast between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump when it comes to business, personal finance, and the economy, is clear and the stakes cannot be greater. This is why so many corporate leaders are sending a loud, joint message, and it’s what voters should keep in mind on Election Day.
