Update (June 26 at 6:07 pm UTC): An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that Shomari Figures won a primary in the state of California. It has been corrected to a primary in Alabama. Jamaal Bowman, a House Representative for New York’s 16th Congressional District, lost the Democratic primary, jeopardizing his seat in 2025. Democratic challenger George Latimer is projected to defeat Bowman by 58%–42%. The Fairshake PAC spent over $2 million opposing Bowman, citing 'dangerous conspiracy theories' rather than his stance on pro-crypto bills. Bowman's loss was attributed to significant opposition spending, including $17 million from interest groups. In a similar vein, Rep.

The influence of crypto-backed funds in political races is evident, with Fairshake's media campaigns impacting voter decisions. The 2024 election landscape is being reshaped by crypto-influenced political dynamics. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
