Kamala Harris seeks ‘reset’ with crypto companies

Kamala Harris’s advisers have approached top crypto companies to “reset” relations between her Democratic party and a sector that has come out as an important backer of Donald Trump, her rival for the US presidency.

Members of the vice-president’s team have contacted people close to crypto companies about meeting in recent days, said four people with knowledge of the matter. Those include leading exchange Coinbase, stablecoin company Circle and blockchain payments group Ripple Labs, two of the people said.

The vice-president’s office and the Harriscampaign declined to comment. Ripple and Coinbase declined to comment. Circle did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Harris’s overture to crypto companies comes as Trump enjoys strong levels of support from the sector. The former president — once a vocal crypto sceptic — has thrown his weight behind the industry and is delivering the keynote speech at a Bitcoin conference in Nashville on Saturday.

Off to a great start!

Another story about politicians kissing up to billionaires and which PACs are being filled by which billionaires.

Welcome to American plutocracy!

Kamala works for the billionaires.

Only Vance (VP 2024, President 2028) truly cares about Middle Class America.

Your biggest proof that who is the best candidate comes from two things:

Against which candidate nearly all Republicans and nearly all Democrats - both corrupt to the bone - are lining up? Who is being vilified by media as if he/she is an enemy combatant?

You can observe how the billionaire controlled media machine is working against Vance.…  Read more

Just yesterday John Bolton - the most hawkish and dangerous-for-America person in the U.S. was interviewed by one of the most corrupt and anti-American correspondents Kaitlan Collins (CNN) as both were enjoying their collaborative malfeasance against Vance and the United States.
