XRP Ledger-based healthcare startup XRP Healthcare has publicly endorsed Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump. The organization took to X to support the 78-year-old politician by responding to his post with the hashtag #Trump2024Vance. This move shows that top protocols are gradually coming out to declare support for their preferred candidate.
The United States 2024 election is barely two months away, and the pressure is getting higher. The odds of winning for both Donald Trump and his opponent, Kamala Harris, have seen some fluctuations in recent times. The “crypto president,” as he likes to call himself, has been receiving crypto donations from Web3 leaders.
After the first assassination attempt on his life, Trump received endorsements from Elon Musk and Tron founder Justin Sun. Although the DNC candidate is only just picking up a crypto stance, she has received support from several crypto-related individuals and organizations as well.
The Vice President recently received endorsements from 88 current and former top executives. This includes Ripple Executive Chairman Chris Larsen, James Murdoch, the heir to the Murdoch family media empire, and philanthropist Lynn Forester de Rothschild.
Similarly, global pop icon Taylor Swift has endorsed Harris. This contributed to a notable shift in market odds on Polymarket, one of the top prediction markets tracking the election.
As opposed to XRP Healthcare’s endorsement for Donald Trump, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is supporting the VP.
These subtle endorsements triggered some reaction from the crypto community. The expectation is that the broader crypto community and top players will support a candidate that is fully pro-crypto. Hence, many in the industry felt disappointed by the Ripple CEO’s choice.
However, Garlinghouse advised them to keep an open mind while citing that all the crypto industry needs is clarity and clear regulation.
On one hand, Donald Trump has refused to have another debate with Kamala Harris. Whike speaking on his Truth Social, the former president highlighted that the polls show that he won the debate on Tuesday last week. Therefore, he officially ruled out the possibility of a “rematch.”
Both candidates gave continued to use their respective platforms to reiterate how they are the best people for the job amid growing border crisis and failing economy.
