Because the smart money is on Harris 

Everything we have is based on the rule of law. It's the bedrock of our civilization and our prosperity—and Trump stands against it like no one else in our political history.

Whoever takes office next January 20 will do so at a time of unprecedented technological development. The rise of artificial intelligence holds massive promise as well as serious risks for America’s economy. We deserve a president who takes these concerns seriously. Is that Donald Trump?

Organizations succeed when their executives create a culture of excellence. We need a leader who knows how to bring out the best in people, invest in their success, and foster candor and mutual respect among teammates. Is that Donald Trump?

But there’s something even more fundamental at stake this election. American business and commerce rely on the rule of law. Companies can’t thrive where an erratic, vindictive autocrat influences our courts and Justice Department. And they can’t take Trump at his word if he’s shown himself to be a serial liar whose tweets can depress markets.

That is Donald Trump. And America can’t afford to return him to power. That’s why so many business leaders like myself are backing Vice President Harris, who led the Biden administration’s AI policy, has outlined sensible economic proposals, and above all, has shown she can be trusted in the nation’s highest office.

For all of these reasons, the business case is clear. The smart money is on Harris.
