United States Vice President Kamala Harris has accepted CNN’s offer for a second presidential debate with former US President Donald Trump on 23 October as she expressed in a latest tweet and hopes that Donald Trump will join her on the stage.

Kamala Harris’ campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon told the reporters that the voters of America should be given the opportunity to watch the two candidates engage in more than one debate before heading to the polls.

The second debate scheduled for October 23 at CNN’s facilities in Atlanta will again follow the June 26 model where both candidates would respond to questions from the moderators for 90 minutes without the presence of an audience.

Scaramucci Assisting Harris In Outlining Crypto Policies

SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci disclosed that he and several other crypto supporters are assisting Harris in outlining pro-crypto policies for her campaign. At the TOKEN2049 crypto conference in Singapore, Scaramucci said that the group plans to move away from the positions of Harris’s opponents, such as Elizabeth Warren and Gary Gensler, the head of the US SEC.

He added that he and the other crypto insiders, which he claims are working alongside Harris, want to prevent policies surrounding the industry from becoming a partisan issue. Scaramucci had stated, “We want crypto in the U.S. to have a bipartisan standard unstrained from political and tribal conflicts.” 

Charles Hoskinson Expresses Concerns

Cardano Founder, Charles Hoskinson, has expressed concerns about crypto policies from key U.S. leaders and has pointed out the uncertainty surrounding their stances.

While Trump has shown a recent interest in bitcoin, Hoskinson believes that his involvement could complicate regulations and the US regulatory authorities might react unfavorably which could destabilize the market. 

Hoskinson also addressed Kamala Harris’s stance and suggested that her policies will likely align with Biden’s current administration, which could be harmful to the industry. He has also underscored the differing perspectives between the two parties.

Need For Clear Direction

Hoskinson emphasized the need for clearer direction from both, noting their lack of a defined approach to the future of cryptocurrency in the U.S.

The regulation of cryptocurrencies is expected to be a key issue in the 2024 election. Although the crypto regulations might have a significant impact which depends on who wins the elections, however an executive at Standard Chartered had made a significant prediction that Bitcoin will trade at $200,000 by next year regardless of who wins the November US presidential election.
