Breaking: Kamala Harris Challenges Donald Trump to Another Debate Amid Crypto Policy Talks

United States Vice President Kamala Harris has accepted CNN’s offer for a second presidential debate with former US President Donald Trump on 23 October. Harris’s campaign made the announcement on Saturday stating that it’s always good to give voters another chance of making their choice before the general election.

Kamala Harris Invites Pro-Crypto Trump to Debate

Kamala Harris’ campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon told reporters that the voters of America should be given the opportunity to watch the two candidates engage in more than one debate before heading to the polls.

However, despite Trump’s recent hesitancy to engage in more debates, Dillon noted that Trump once voiced appreciation for the CNN format, moderators and the ratings that the June debate received.

In a post on X (Twitter), Vice President Harris said that she “will gladly accept a second presidential debate” and called on former US President Donald Trump to meet her on the stage again. The second debate scheduled for October 23 at CNN’s facilities in Atlanta will also follow the June 26 model where both candidates would respond to questions from the moderators for 90 minutes without the presence of an audience.

Harris’ campaign has kept on pushing for Trump’s recent remarks that he will not undertake any other debates and one of the senior adviser noted that Trump “shifts his stance every day.”

Crypto Policies in Focus as Scaramucci Assists Harris

Concurrently, SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci disclosed that he and a number of other crypto-supporters are assisting Harris in outlining pro-crypto policies for her campaign.

At the TOKEN2049 crypto conference in Singapore, Scaramucci said that the group plans to move away from the positions of Harris’s opponents, such as Elizabeth Warren and Gary Gensler, the head of the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

According to Scaramucci, the Vice President’s team wants to achieve a bipartisan approach to crypto regulation while avoiding political polarization that has characterized the current administration. Scaramucci pointed out that the Harris campaign has been instrumental in coming up with policies that shall be favorable to the crypto sector, moving away from the strict policies set by Warren and Gensler.

Trump’s Crypto-Friendly Approach 

However, despite the differences between Scaramucci and Trump, the ex-White House aide agreed about the positive position of the former US President towards cryptocurrency. In recent months, Trump has taken on the mantle of the pro-Bitcoin candidate, supporting the industry and even launching a crypto project associated with his family – World Liberty Financial.

This is in stark comparison to his previous stance on digital currencies in his previous administration where he showed little to no interest in the subject.

By Kamala Harris also interacting with crypto enthusiasts, the regulation of cryptocurrencies is expected to be a key issue in the 2024 election. While Harris has not taken a clear position on cryptocurrency, she is participating in forums that could influence her perspective.
