The business leaders that Kamala Harris could recruit for her Cabinet
- Kamala Harris has many powerful business ties to assemble a potential Cabinet.
- Mark Cuban and her brother-in-law, Uber’s Tony West, may be out of contention.
- But these are the candidates Harris could be considering if she prevails.
Billionaire business leaders and Silicon Valley elites are throwing their support behind Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in ways both loud and quiet.
And either candidate, if elected, is likely to lean on the business sector in building their respective Cabinets.
Trump has already confirmed Elon Musk would have a role in his administration. And while Harris has her own ties to Wall Street, it appears two key surrogates may be out of contention.
Mark Cuban initially floated interest in leading the SEC, but told ABC Sunday that he has “no interest in serving in the Cabinet.” Additionally, Harris’ brother-in-law, the Uber executive Tony West, is currently on leave to assist with the campaign, but plans to return to work after the election.
So what business leaders could Harris ultimately tap if she prevails in November?
Here are some of the candidates she’s reportedly considering. And here’s a list of Trump’s possible picks.
