Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate following Joe Biden’s withdrawal on July 21, seems to be embracing cryptocurrency to attract voters. She may even speak at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, which starts on July 25.
On July 24, David Bailey, the event’s CEO, said they were discussing with Kamala Harris’s campaign about her speaking at the conference. He noted that it would be a smart move for her to address the fastest-growing voter group in the country. However, it was not confirmed whether Harris would actually speak at the event.
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump: Key Figures in Crypto Debate
Block’s Frank Chaparro suggested on July 24 that if Kamala Harris attends the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville and effectively outlines how crypto and Bitcoin represent the future, along with presenting a solid policy plan, she could secure a significant advantage in the race.
In contrast, her rival, former President Donald Trump, is already confirmed to speak at the conference. Trump, who has taken a pro-crypto stance, will be joined by other notable figures including pro-crypto candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and Senators Bill Hagerty and Marsha Blackburn.
While Vice President Kamala Harris has not publicly shared strong opinions on crypto, she is reportedly researching the topic as it gains importance in this election year.
Mark Cuban on Kamala Harris and the Crypto Race
Billionaire investor Mark Cuban told Politico that Kamala Harris might be open to changing her policies, which could be a positive sign. He noted that he has been receiving numerous questions from her team about crypto, suggesting that Harris is making an effort to understand and engage with the topic.
The Harris campaign is working to appeal to crypto enthusiasts ahead of the November election. Despite the recent buzz about her potential appearance at the Bitcoin 2024 conference, her rival, former President Donald Trump, has an early advantage. Trump is positioning himself as a “crypto candidate” and there are rumors he might announce a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the United States at the conference.
Although there were speculations about Harris attending the conference, David Bailey later clarified that these rumors were false, citing a conversation Harris had with her team.
