US Presidential Candidates To Discuss Digital Assets in “Stand With Crypto” Forum
Cryptocurrency exchange #coinbase has launched the "Stand With Crypto" campaign with the goal of convening candidates for the 2024 United States #PresidentialElection election to engage in discussions about blockchain technology and digital assets.
As of December 4, the campaign's website indicates the involvement of Republican candidates Asa Hutchinson and Vivek Ramaswamy, along with Democratic candidate Dean Phillips, in a live event scheduled for December 11 in New Hampshire. The forum will delve into diverse topics related to digital assets. Other candidates invited to participate encompass former President Donald Trump, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Republicans Doug Burgum, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, and Chris Christie.
According to opinion polls, there's a strong likelihood that President Biden will contend against Trump in the #2024election, with the former president holding a double-digit lead against DeSantis, Haley, and Ramaswamy, ranging from 5% to 13%. A recent Quinnipiac poll depicted Kennedy Jr., an independent candidate with pro-crypto views, at 22%, competing against both Trump and President Biden.
The influence of the December 11 forum, occurring a mere month before the primary, on voters' focus on crypto remains uncertain. Candidates such as Kennedy Jr. and Ramaswamy have placed emphasis on digital assets in their campaigns, whereas Biden and Trump seldom address crypto and blockchain matters in public discussions.
