Ripple Co-Founder Chris Larsen Backs Democratic Nominee Kamala Harris

After Ripple CEO Brad Garlinhouse’s support to Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris raised eyebrows in the crypto community. Previously, former Ripple’s board member Gene Sperling also left the White House to join Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign.

Eighty-eight current and former top executives and investors have endorsed Harris for president in a new letter, CNBC reported on September 5. Among these include high-profile CEOs of public companies, including Michael Lynton, chairman of Snap, Aaron Levie of Box, and Jeremy Stoppelman of Yelp.

This is the first time some executives such as Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen, James Murdoch, Forrester de Rothschild, and sports magnate Ted Leonsis have publicly endorsed Harris since she became the Democratic presidential nominee in July.

Some prominent people in Silicon Valley who continue to back Harris include venture capitalist Ron Conway, entrepreneur Mark Cuban, and former LinkedIn CEO Reid Hoffman.

Mark Cuban revealed that he talks 3-4 times a week with the Harris campaign and is confident about agreeing to the best approach to taxing the wealthy and other areas. He had lost hope in Donald Trump’s emergence as a pro-business presidential candidate.
