Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna reportedly wants to host a meeting to help Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign mend fences with the crypto industry.
Khanna, one of the Democratic caucus’s most vocally pro-crypto members, attempted to schedule a Monday Zoom meeting between Harris’ team and industry stakeholders, though that meeting was delayed until later in the week, according to a tweet from Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett.
Terrett, citing “three people with direct knowledge of the matter,” notes the meeting’s attendee list was supposed to include prominent crypto stakeholders, National Economic Advisor Lael Brainard, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Bruce Reed and Anita Dunn, a Biden adviser who recently announced she’s leaving the White House to help a pro-Harris super PAC.
A few recent developments suggest Harris could be open to making overtures to the crypto world.
Her campaign recently hired David Plouffe, a former Obama adviser who once served on Binance’s Global Advisory Board, and her team has reportedly reached out to crypto firms, including Coinbase, Ripple and Circle, in an attempt to repair the party’s relationship with the digital asset sector.
Those moves come as former President Donald Trump, once an outspoken crypto critic, has attempted to reframe himself as a supporter of digital assets.
