As the Super Tuesday concluded, Congresswoman Katie Porter’s defeat in the California Senate Primary to Adam Schiff has been linked directly to her choice of joining in Senator Elizabeth Warren’s anti-crypto stance. The crypto super PAC Fairshake, behind a $10 million ad blitz against Katie Porter, minced no words in their post-election statement about her.
In the statement, Fairshake, “Katie Porter sided with Elizabeth Warren and against the 52 million Americans who own crypto.” Moreover, they pointedly asserted that Porter’s choice sealed her fate during Super Tuesday. The crypto super PAC noted, “Tonight, her choice ended her career in Congress.” With over 52 million Americans invested in the crypto market, including more than 8 million in California, the PAC warned, “the crypto voter is here.”
Urging politicians to take notice, the statement underscored, “The crypto voter cares whose side a candidate is on.” As the dust settles, Porter’s loss serves as a stark reminder of the growing influence of the crypto community in shaping political outcomes. Moreover, siding with Senator Elizabeth Warren‘s anti-crypto narrative could pose a challenge in the political arena.
Earlier, Fairshake allocated $10 million toward advertisements against Katie Porter’s candidacy for the US Senate in California. The initiative was undertaken to ensure Schiff’s win over Porter during Super Tuesday. Moreover, the Fairshake PAC disclosed raising $85 million in 2024 from prominent figures within the crypto community and its associated organizations. The crypto super PAC aims to support candidates who advocate for progressive innovation and regulation
