Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, who considered 2020 presidential bid, endorses Joe Biden

Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Monday in a message to his email list that warned that what is at risk is democracy itself.
The coffee titan had publicly mulled the possibility of running in the 2020 race as a centrist independent but dropped the plan last September. The prospect of a Schultz bid outside the two-party system spooked Democrats who worried that he could take away votes from the Democratic nominee and potentially throw the race to President Donald Trump.
While my exploration revealed that a run for office was not the best way for me to give back to a country that has given me so much, I continue to believe that our nation can live up to our ideals, and that we all must envision and fight for a new American future, Schultz wrote in the email.
Schultz wrote that he and his wife, Sheri Schultz, will vote for Biden and donate to his campaign.
