Senator Elizabeth Warren reportedly called for donations for her 2024 reelection by calling John Deaton a “big cheerleader for crypto interests” ahead his campaign launch.
John Deaton, an attorney who has advocated for the crypto industry, officially launched his run for a United States Senate seat in Massachusetts — without explicitly mentioning digital assets as a campaign issue.
In a video released from his X account on Feb. 20, Deaton said his campaign would be focused on “taking on the Washington elites,” claiming that Senator Elizabeth Warren “gets nothing done” for Massachusetts. The video included a photo of a Rhode Island Lawyers Weekly headline mentioning Deaton’s role in advocating for crypto against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the lawyer wearing an XRP shirt. Otherwise, the launch video focused on domestic issues, including inflation and border security.
“I am running for U.S. Senate to continue my life’s mission to shake things up for the people who need it most,” said Deaton.
