Pro-crypto lawyer John Deaton is gaining momentum in his bid to challenge Senator Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts, with support from influential figures like Elon Musk and Brian Armstrong. Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, took to social media to urge crypto holders in Massachusetts to support Deaton, criticizing Warren for her anti-crypto stance and government control advocacy. Musk, known for his pro-crypto stance, also voiced his support for Deaton, aligning with his views on the industry.
Deaton’s campaign has received significant endorsements, including a $1 million contribution from Ripple and support from prominent figures like Tyler Winklevoss, Charles Hoskinson, and Brad Garlinghouse. These endorsements highlight Deaton’s reputation as a defender of the crypto sector and his opposition to Warren’s anti-crypto agenda.
While Warren has criticized Deaton for his ties to the crypto industry, recent polls show her leading in the race. Despite this, Deaton’s growing support signals a shift in the political landscape, with key players in the crypto industry rallying behind him. As the race heats up, it remains to be seen how Deaton’s pro-crypto platform will resonate with voters in Massachusetts. With backing from industry leaders like Musk and Armstrong, Deaton’s campaign is poised to challenge the status quo and bring a fresh perspective to the political arena.
