Among these esteemed individuals, I find myself particularly drawn to T.J. McGill and Suzanne Sinegal McGill. Their combined passion for business and social impact resonates deeply with me. T.J.’s journey from being a professional soccer player to co-founding Evergreen Pacific Partners showcases the power of adaptability and resilience, qualities I deeply admire.
On Friday morning, a large number of high-ranking business executives, many with strong connections to Hollywood and the media industry, publicly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in a published letter.
The note asserts that her election would be the optimal method for upholding the robustness, safety, and dependability of our democracy and economy. It implies that with Kamala Harris in the White House, the business sector can trust they will have a President who is committed to the prosperity of American industries.
The letter was endorsed by 88 notable businesspeople, several of whom have a significant presence in the entertainment industry.
As a gamer, I find myself in the company of some heavy-hitters in the entertainment industry. Here are a few names you might recognize: James Murdoch, son of Rupert Murdoch, who used to run 21st Century Fox; Barry Diller, the brains behind IAC; Jeffrey Katzenberg, founder of Dreamworks; Jeff Bewkes, former CEO of Time Warner; Michael Lynton, ex-chairman of Sony Pictures; Mark Cuban, star of Shark Tank and owner of Dallas Mavericks; Maverick Carter, CEO of SpringHill; Magic Johnson, Lakers legend; Peter Chernin, former COO of Fox; Reid Hoffman, founder of LinkedIn; Ted Leonsis, CEO of Monumental Sports & Entertainment; Marissa Mayer, ex-CEO of Yahoo; Laurene Powell Jobs, CEO of Emerson Collective; and Sean Parker, the genius behind Napster. Impressive crew, huh?
Harris is focusing on winning over the business sector, as significant names from the technology industry (such as Elon Musk) have shown their backing towards the former President Donald Trump, creating a kind of conflict between Tinsel Town and Silicon Valley.
You can read the full letter, first reported by CNBC, below.
We endorse Kamala Harris’s election as President of the United States.
As a gamer, I firmly believe that electing Kamala Harris as our President is an excellent choice for the sustained vigor, safety, and dependability of our democracy and economy. Having Kamala Harris in the White House means we can trust that our businesses will have a leader who’s committed to seeing American industries flourish. As President Biden’s partner, she boasts a robust background of championing measures to boost business investment within the U.S., ensuring our businesses remain competitive on the global stage.
