Hillary Clinton’s campaign on Friday announced endorsements from more than 40 business leaders, including some longtime Democratic donors, as she tries to emphasize her economic credentials going into her first face-to-face debate with Republican Donald Trump next week.
The list, which is heavy on executives in technology and entertainment, includes Sprint Corp. Chief Executive Officer Marcelo Claure, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, and billionaire venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, a co-founder of Sun Microsystems Inc. In June, the Clinton team released a list of more than 50 business leaders – including a handful of Republicans – who were backing her over Trump.
