- Former CEOs of American Airlines, LinkedIn, Amex, Xerox, and 13 other companies make the pitch for Kamala Harris (newsbreak.com)
Former CEOs of major companies, including LinkedIn and American Express, have endorsed Kamala Harris for president. They believe Harris would be better for the economy than Donald Trump.
The group of 17 business leaders cited Trump’s “anti-business” positions, such as tariffs and threats to the Federal Reserve’s independence. They believe these policies would harm the economy.
The former CEOs said they felt obligated to speak out because current CEOs may face backlash for criticizing Trump.
The endorsement comes despite Trump’s support from Elon Musk and other business leaders. However, some business leaders avoid publicly endorsing candidates to avoid alienating customers or employees.
