Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has released new details on her policy plans. The platform includes plans to prioritize innovation in the US economy but does not explicitly mention digital assets or blockchain technology.
Harris-Walz Platform
On September 9, the Harris-Walz campaign website's 'issues' page highlighted several policies differentiating itself from Republican nominee Donald Trump's campaign. The official Republican platform under the leadership of Trump's daughter-in-law included language on championing innovation using crypto, while the Harris campaign focused on policies to benefit the middle class.
Role of Crypto in Elections
According to the Democratic nominee, Vice President Harris and her running mate Tim Walz aimed to create a fairer tax system that would prioritize investment and innovation in the US economy. The campaign added that 'America, not China,' would remain a leader in innovative industries, including artificial intelligence and semiconductors. Despite this focus, digital assets or blockchain were not mentioned in the platform. Some experts suggest Harris may not directly contradict the Biden administration's approach to crypto.
Upcoming Elections
As of September 9, with 57 days left until the US Election Day, many polls show Harris and Trump neck and neck nationwide and in several battleground states. The first in-person debate between the candidates is scheduled for September 10 on ABC News.
Kamala Harris has presented her policy platform, focusing on innovation and the US economy, while steering clear of mentioning cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. This decision might be driven by a desire to maintain consistency with the Biden administration's approach to digital assets.
