Over 90 prominent business leaders, including the CEOs of Yelp and Chobani, have endorsed U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris in her presidential bid against Republican former President Donald Trump. The executives, which include notable figures from the sports and investment sectors, expressed confidence in Harris's ability to bolster the economy and preserve American democracy.

'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,' they penned in the letter, first reported by CNBC. They emphasized her fair and predictable policies that support the rule of law and stability, aiming to give every American the chance to pursue the American dream.

Among those endorsing Harris were billionaire Mark Cuban, former FOX CEO James Murdoch, and Magic Johnson. The widow of former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Laurene Powell Jobs, also showed her support, alongside former executives from Merck, Aetna, GoDaddy, Blackstone, and Starbucks. Both Harris and Trump are focusing on their economic visions, as early voting is set to begin in several states. Harris aims to cut taxes for most Americans, combat grocery price gouging, and raise the corporate tax rate, while Trump plans to lower corporate taxes and eliminate regulations for energy projects. Analysts believe Harris's presidency would yield stronger job growth and a slight GDP boost.
