Kamala Harris is getting ready for her run for president by getting closer to people in the crypto business. She has gotten support from important people like J.P. Theriot and added a crypto expert to her team to make her campaign more appealing to people in the crypto sector and improve her chances of winning the race.
Crypto fans are becoming more interested in Kamala, even though most people in the business support former President Donald Trump. J.P. Theriot, co-founder of Uphold, recently backed Harris on X, making him the first crypto professional to back a Democrat. He said that Trump’s claims were not clear and praised Harris for possibly knowing how to use new technologies.
Ro Khanna, a congressman from California, is setting up a meeting to help Harris get along better with people in the crypto business. According to reports, Harris has hired David Plouffe as a Senior Adviser. Plouffe was an advisor at Alchemy Pay and is now a part of the Binance Global Advisory Board. Plouffe, who used to work for Obama, wants clear rules for crypto.
In July, Harris’ campaign collected $310 million, which was more than twice as much as her Republican opponent’s. They also had $377 million in cash on hand. These wins show that she is getting more support, which could help her run for president. Harris’s moves seem to be working; data from Polymarket shows that her chances of winning are tied with Joe Biden’s at 45%.
