Kamala Harris’s representatives have rescheduled their meeting with crypto industry leaders, which was initially postponed. The meeting is now set for August 8. This move reflects the Democratic Party’s efforts to reset its relationship with the crypto community ahead of the upcoming elections, despite their choice of an anti-crypto running mate.
Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett confirmed the rescheduled meeting, which will now occur on Thursday, August 8, at 11:45 a.m. EST. The meeting will be hosted by Congressman Ro Khanna in Washington, aiming to mend ties with the crypto sector.

Surprising Choice of Running Mate
In related news, Kamala Harris has announced her running mate for the 2024 elections: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. This decision surprised many, as Walz is known for his anti-crypto stance, advocating for stricter crypto regulations. This contrasts sharply with her opponents, Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, who are vocal supporters of cryptocurrency.
Impact on Harris’s Campaign
Despite Walz’s anti-crypto reputation, Kamala Harris’s election odds remain strong. Polymarket data shows her winning odds at 46%, compared to Donald Trump’s 53%. This upcoming meeting with crypto leaders might be a strategic move to balance her campaign’s stance on digital currencies.
As the political landscape evolves, the outcomes of these discussions and the influence of Harris’s choice of running mate will be closely watched by both the crypto community and political analysts.
