Kamala Harris’s Crypto Outreach Falters: Missed Opportunities at Key Event Leave Voters Unsatisfied
Aug 20, 2024
Kamala Harris’s recent Crypto 4 Harris event, intended to win over the growing crypto voter bloc, has been widely criticised for missing the mark. The event, held on August 14, featured some prominent figures like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Mark Cuban, but Harris herself was notably absent, and no substantial policy commitments were made. Schumer’s speech, though lengthy, didn’t mention Bitcoin or any specific crypto-related policies, leaving many crypto enthusiasts disappointed.Critics argue that the event felt more like a donation drive than a serious attempt to engage with the crypto community, highlighting a disconnect between Harris’s campaign and the issues that matter most to these voters. The Harris campaign seems to be struggling to find a cohesive stance on crypto, torn between adopting a more pro-crypto approach and maintaining the regulatory stance of the current administration, which has been criticised for its restrictive measures.With Donald Trump gaining significant ground among crypto voters due to his clear and bold policy statements, Harris’s campaign will need to do more to appeal to this crucial voter base if they hope to compete effectively in the upcoming election.
