The Ripple CEO Counsel To Kamala Harris

In a short clip posted on X, US Representative Brad Sherman compared Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency by market cap to a new coin dubbed “Skibidi.”

His tone suggested he intended to make a caricature of the top digital asset. Reacting to this post, Garlinghouse advised Harris against associating with such people who are out to crack down on crypto. Noteworthy, President Joe Biden recently endorsed Kamala Harris to run as Democrat nominee in the upcoming elections after he dropped out.

The Ripple CEO is certain that winning votes in this 2024 presidential elections is directly proportional to how ‘crypto’ a candidate is. Democrats are largely known for their anti-crypto stance, including the outgoing President Biden.

Even Caroline Crenshaw whom Biden re-nominated a few weeks ago for the position of SEC Commissioner is one of them. Only a few of them like Sen. Cynthia Lummis and Kirsten Gillibrand still associate with the crypto ecosystem.

With their anti-crypto stance, the Ripple CEO does not think the Democrats stand a chance. Consequently, dissociating herself from this anti-crypto entities is what Garlinghouse think is best for Harris, if she wants to win the election.

Harris Confuse Crypto Community About Her Crypto Stance

Ripple CEO is quite open-minded towards Kamala Harris and he has encouraged others to do the same. In his opinion, it is important to judge candidates based on their policies rather than political affiliations. Garlinghouse thinks Harris, with her Silicon Valley background, has a unique opportunity to reset critical issues like crypto regulation

Meanwhile, she recently turned down the invitation to speak at the ongoing Bitcoin Conference in Nashville. Bitcoin Magazine CEO David Bailey thinks her absence at the conference will avert a potential disaster. This is due to her involvement in policies that have imprisoned crypto developers and driven the industry overseas.

Following her refusal to attend the Bitcoin Conference, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump played a “Uno Reverse” card on her. Trump previously agreed to have two debates with Kamala Harris on September 10. However, he backed out after her Bitcoin Conference refusal which surprised many including the crypto community.
