Edited/changed after comment (the question wasn't clear about this):

Apply display: flex and flex-direction: column; to the link, plus an optional width setting to the parent container (ul), and (also optionally) text-align: justify to the p tag to make the text align also to the right border:

ul {
  list-style-type: none;
  width: 400px; /* any value here, or no value to fill the horizontally available space  */
}

li a {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}

li a p {
  text-align: justify;
}

<ul>
  <li>

I have given you an example below to learn from.

You should look into flex. It's just an easy way to control content. There is no actual purpose for it here, but I still gave the link container the flex property, because you would probably want to align the content later (e.g. align-items: center).

Read up on flexbox, good luck!

.link {
  display: flex;
}

.link img {
  width: 50%;
}

.link p {
  width: 50%;
}
