CNN —Dozens of business leaders are throwing their weight behind Vice President Kamala Harris, saying she is the stronger candidate for the American economy and the future of democracy.
In a three-page letter, a group of 88 business leaders — including high-profile current and former executives from major public companies across tech, media, and finance — emphasized that they believe a Harris administration can better nurture the private sector.
The endorsements underscore the support Harris has not only in Silicon Valley, a traditional Democratic stronghold, but in some corners on Wall Street and at some consumer-facing companies.
On the campaign trail, Harris has positioned herself as perhaps friendlier to business than President Joe Biden.
The letter is a vote of confidence for Harris as she and former President Donald Trump appear neck and neck ahead of the November election.
