The vice president of the United States, Kamala Harris, is a bit of an anomaly among Capitol Hill politicians: she’s never had strong words to say for or against digital currencies, tokenization, blockchain, or NFTs.
None of that has mattered for the past four years as US president Joseph Biden has had plenty to say about crypto during his stay in the White House.
Candidate Harris?
But that’s all changed since Biden announced his intent to drop out of the upcoming presidential election. While there’s no guarantee that his vice president will get the democratic nomination, he’s already given Harris his endorsement.
Were Harris to get the nomination, she’d still face former US president Donald Trump, who’s been bombastic on crypto — against it in the past, for it as of late.
Trump’s plans for the space may become a bit clearer in the coming weeks as he’s slated to speak at the Bitcoin Conference on July 27. But, in the meantime, it’s likely safe to assume he’s at least pro Bitcoin.
