WASHINGTON — Eighty-eight current and former top executives from across corporate America have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president in a new letter shared exclusively with CNBC.
Among the signers are several high-profile CEOs of public companies, including Aaron Levie of Box , Jeremy Stoppelman of Yelp and Michael Lynton, chairman of Snap.
Other signers appear to be issuing their first public endorsements of Harris since she became the de facto Democratic nominee in July.
They include James Murdoch, former CEO of 21st Century Fox and an heir to the Murdoch family media empire, and crypto executive Chris Larsen, co-founder of the Ripple blockchain platform.

i have never heard of Box or Snap. Is it package of cereal, or what?
As for Yelp, yes I am familiar with Yelp. Why a CEO of a corporation (that has zero substantial relationship or dependence on the government) would see fit to drag the corporation’s name into the political mud....
is problematical at best. Every organization I ever worked for required its employees to NOT make any public statements connecting the org with political candidates or issues. For the obviousr reason that any such public pairing is often (by design) perceived as the corporation supporting the candidate. No CEO has that authority to begin with. And for almost any issue or candidate, especially one like Harris, it insults millions and millions of the company’s consumers/users/patrons/suppliers/supporters.
Very bad for the company/organization’s image, marketing, community standing, and, usually, future as a viable, maximally-profitable firm.
The shareholders (owners) of the company should demand the CEO’s replacement with a far more responsible and capable indidivual. And sue the outgoing CEO for deliterious ultra vires mis-management, mis-use of corporate assets, and damage to the firm’s goodwill (an important corporate asset in its own right)>
If the Democratic nominee wins the White House, they contend, “the business community can be confident that it will have a president who wants American industries to thrive.”
Are you sure this isn’t another clever Bee article?
Hard to tell the difference between The Bee and Not The Bee sometimes
Her Donor list has spoken.
What has always baffled me about so-called “entrepreneurs”, not just billionaires but even well-to-do locals, is that they’re seemingly eager to risk their property and fortunes by supporting communists.
Thanks for a new tagline, Babylon Bee!
Yelp doesn’t surprise me, I was actively using them when they first started (making reviews, etc) and they went fully woke even back in the early 2010s and I haven’t used them since.
Yelp is one of the strongest Karen attractants on the internet.
88. Same as the number of keys on a piano. And, both are being played.
Isn’t 88 code for “Heil Hitler”?
Fascists gonna support the Marxists. That’s how their world turns.
Yeah there are a few current but it skews heavily towards former. Of the companies some are no surprise but an awful lot are corporate names one has never heard of.
88 more reasons to vote for Trump. Why are they motivating me even more to vote for Trump?
Most are former CEOs, nobodies. And half the companies are not anything most people deal with. And there are a few tech divorcee and widows.
Nothing big here.
“. Daniel J. Halpern, Co-founder and CEO of Jackmont Hospitality”
Wow Jackmont supports Harris???
WTF is Jackmont.
Most are “former” CEOs because they are obviously idiots if they support Harris.
and WOW!
“. José E. Feliciano”
Guantanemera!
Peter Orszag, Obama administration. What a shocker. I heard Pelosi is also supporting Harris, can you believe that?
Sounds like a collection of *LIBERAL* garbage corporations.
Good list for people to boycott.
An interesting thing about yelp or some users of yelp. Threaten a business with fake bad reviews to shake $$$ Out of them.
Probably most users are honest. But we’ve heard reports that some are otherwise.
