PANews reported on August 9 that Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss questioned U.S. Vice President Harris's absence from the cryptocurrency roundtable yesterday on the X platform: "Can anyone explain why Kamala Harris didn't attend the cryptocurrency roundtable yesterday? I know she's running, but the meeting is virtual. All she needs is an internet connection. Is it a technical difficulty?"

Forbes reporter Eleanor Terrett commented: "My understanding is that the meeting was supposed to be a 'current administration focused' meeting, not a 'Harris campaign focused' meeting. One attendee told me that an administrator expressed this distinction early in the meeting. I was also told that this was likely the reason Anita Dunn did not attend, as she had moved from the original administrator to the Harris campaign."
