With the US election in November and polls showing Harris in a dead heat with Donald Trump in battleground states, Democratic voices in the crypto industry are speaking up.
Crypto users who support or are at least open to voting for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris have 88 days to make their case that the United States vice president will be better for crypto policy than Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Since announcing her presidential campaign on July 21, following President Joe Biden’s declaration that he would not run for reelection, Harris has been largely silent on economic issues, including those potentially affecting the crypto industry. As she prepares to hold events in battleground states, Trump’s campaign said the Republican nominee would not be holding major rallies until the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention on Aug. 22.
The relatively sudden “jump” into digital assets from the Republican ticket, coupled with the unknown of what the Harris-Walz campaign could mean for crypto, has many in the industry paying attention. Members of Harris’ team have already been discussing crypto policy with company executives, and White House staff with crypto industry experience are reportedly moving to her campaign or political action committees supporting her election.
