ChainCatcher news, according to CNBC, 88 current and former executives from the American business community support U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidency. The signatories include well-known CEOs from several publicly traded companies, including Aaron Levie of Box, Jeremy Stoppelman of Yelp, and Michael Lynton, chairman of Snap.

Some signatories appear to be publicly supporting her for the first time since Harris became the de facto Democratic candidate in July. This includes James Murdoch, former CEO of 21st Century Fox and heir to the Murdoch family media empire, as well as cryptocurrency executive Chris Larsen, co-founder of the Ripple blockchain platform.

Among the signatories, more than a dozen made their fortunes on Wall Street, including Tony James, former president and COO of Blackstone Group and founder of Jefferson River Capital, and Bruce Heyman, former managing director of private wealth management at Goldman Sachs.

However, among all the signatories, the vast majority of the 88 endorsing Harris are former CEOs of large publicly traded companies, including Indra Nooyi, former CEO of PepsiCo, Barry Diller of Paramount Pictures, Ken Frazier of Merck, Logan Green of Lyft, Blake Irving of GoDaddy, Laxman Narasimhan of Starbucks, and Dan Schulman of PayPal.
