Dozens of the nation’s top corporate leaders, including Roger Altman<\/a>, Mark Cuban<\/a>, Jeffrey Katzenberg<\/a>, Magic Johnson<\/a> and Ted Leonsis<\/a>, have collectively endorsed Vice President Harris’s presidential campaign, citing her ability to “advance fair and predictable policies that support the rule of law, stability and a sound business environment.”<\/p>\n “Her election is the best way to support the continued strength, security, and reliability of our democracy and economy,” the business leaders wrote in a joint letter obtained by The Hill on Friday and first reported by CNBC. “With Kamala Harris in the White House, the business community can be confident that it will have a President who wants American industries to thrive.”<\/p>\n The list includes former Treasury Secretaries W. Michael Blumenthal, Robert Rubin and Larry Summers; the founders of Essence magazine, Zillow, LinkedIn and Napster; and former and current CEOs of Ford, Xerox, Starbucks and 21st Century Fox.<\/p>\n View the full list of business leaders who signed the Harris endorsement letter here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Harris’s and former President Trump’s campaigns have spent recent days highlighting their differing economic agendas.
