Ripple chairman Chris Larsen, along with other business leaders in the US, is reportedly endorsing Democratic nominee Kamala Harris for president.
According to a new report by CNBC, Larsen is endorsing Harris over former president Donald Trump alongside 87 other current and former corporate executives.
The CEOs reportedly prefer Harris because with her at the helm, “the business community can be confident that it will have a president who wants American industries to thrive.”
The majority of people who signed the letter were former CEOs of major companies, such as Paramount, Pepsi, Merck, Ford, GoDaddy, Starbucks and PayPal.
Others who signed the letter include current CEOs of Yelp, Box, Snap and 21st Century Fox as well as sports magnate Ted Leonsis, Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and billionaire Mark Cuban.
As stated by the group in the letter,
“As a partner to President Biden, Vice President 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.
She will continue to advance fair and predictable policies that support the rule of law, stability, and a sound business environment, and she will strive to give every American the opportunity to pursue the American dream.”
