Kamala Harris recently challenged Donald Trump to a second debate before the upcoming US presidential election. This debate was scheduled for October 23, and CNN offered to host it. However, Trump rejected the invitation, saying it was too late for another debate. Harris, eager to present her views, especially on crypto policies, wanted to engage with him again before Election Day.
Trump Declines Another Debate
Despite Harris’s push for another round of discussion, Trump has made it clear that he won’t participate. He pointed out that voting had already started and argued it was unnecessary. Trump had earlier agreed to three debates with Harris, but only one took place. After the first debate in September, Harris gained a slight advantage in the polls, and Trump seemed to change his approach. He firmly stated on social media that there would be no more debates. Though his position seemed final, he left some room for a potential change if the circumstances suited him.
Harris Aims to Engage on Crypto
Kamala Harris was not just calling for a debate to discuss traditional political issues. She had her sights set on the rapidly evolving crypto space. With the help of Anthony Scaramucci, a crypto advocate, Harris aimed to shape a more crypto-friendly stance. She wanted to distance herself from the more cautious approaches of politicians like Elizabeth Warren and Gary Gensler. Harris’s focus on crypto policies was part of her strategy to appeal to younger voters and the growing community of crypto enthusiasts.
Trump Coin and His Crypto Move
While Kamala Harris was focusing on a pro-crypto policy, Trump had already taken a bold step into the crypto world with his “Trump Coin.” This silver medallion was a collector’s item, not a legal currency. It was part of Trump’s larger venture into digital finance, through his company World Liberty Financial. This move surprised many, considering his previous skepticism toward cryptocurrencies. However, Trump’s latest pro-Bitcoin stance aligned with his 2024 campaign. His embrace of the Trump Coin showed his ability to tap into his supporter base while staying relevant in the crypto community.
Crypto at the Heart of the US Election
As the US election nears, crypto policies are becoming a key topic of debate. With Harris working on a pro-crypto platform and Trump launching his Trump Coin, both candidates seem eager to engage the crypto community. Trump’s rejection of the debate invitation may have disappointed some, but his silver coin project has kept his name buzzing in the digital finance space. The question remains: how much will crypto influence the upcoming election, and who will win the hearts of crypto enthusiasts?
