Vice President KamalaHarris said she would help increase investment in artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies if elected.On Sunday, she introduced her economic agenda to donors in New York, saying it would promote innovation and focus regulation on protecting consumers and investors.
“I will bring together labor, small business founders and innovators, and big companies. We will work together to invest in the competitiveness of the United States and the future of the United States. WeInnovative technologies such as artificial intelligence and digital assets will be encouraged while protecting our consumers and investors.”
This is the first time Harris has commented on cryptocurrencies as a Democratic presidential candidate, and investors and enthusiasts are waiting for her approach to whether her approach is different from President Joe Biden.
The crypto industry has become a key player in the 2024 presidential election, with industry executives and investors furious over the heavy regulation under Biden, hoping to demonstrate their influence through massive political donations.
At a Bloomberg News Roundtable held during the Democratic National Convention in August, one of her campaign policy advisers said Harris wanted to help develop digital assets, but she said she was about being a forum that had seen many well-known companies go bankruptIndustry provides guarantees interested.
Harris’ Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, openly shows goodwill to the industry, pledging to fire SEC chairman Gary Gensler, whose term does not end until 2026, chooses industry-friendly regulators and createsA stablecoin framework.
Last week, Trump sent a show of goodwill to the digital asset community, paying for burgers in Bitcoin at a cryptocurrency-themed bar in New York City.
Harris’ economic proposal is aimed at voters who are worried about high prices, which has been a political burden to the Biden administration, and Harris promises to push for a range of tax incentives and tax cuts to ease the burden on low-income and middle-class families in the United States.
But on Sunday, Harris also tried to ease concerns about how she operates, providing more insights on how she will deal with regulation — part of what she calls an “opportunity” agenda.
“We will create a safe business environment, create consistent and transparent rules. We will invest in semiconductors, clean energy and other future industries and cut unnecessary bureaucracy,” he said.She said.
On-site fundraising
Sunday’s event offered a rare campaign opportunity for the Democratic presidential candidate, who hopes to consolidate her financial advantage over Trump.
The event raised $27 million, according to a campaign official, saying it was the largest single-game event since Harris became a Democratic candidate.
Tickets range from $500 to nearly $1 million, with supporters of the highest donation level able to take photos with Harris and attend two more events, the Free Lunch and the Top Donor Reception.
The event invited many of the state’s most famous Democratic officials, including Gov. Casey Hochur and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, as well as Padma Lakshmi, singer Odra MacDonald,Actors Anne Hathaway, Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Porter and other celebrities.
Organizers say it was the last chance to meet with the vice president in New York before the November election.Harris’ campaign said Saturday that Harris will not attend the Al Smith Charity Dinner in Chicago next month, which aims to raise funds for Catholic charities, and that Harris will spend his time on campaigns in key statesAt the event.Dinners are a traditional event for presidential candidates of major political parties.
In a visit to New York — a city full of wealthy Democratic donors — Harris hopes to further expand the Democratic Party’s huge financial advantage over Trump.
The vice president, the Democratic National Committee and state parties raised $361 million in August, and by early September, her bank account balance was $404 million.Those figures surpass the $130 million raised by former President Trump and the Republican National Committee in August.Harris and the Democrats have a $109 million cash advantage over Trump and the Republicans, whose campaign funds were $295 million in early September.
The fundraising boom for Democratic candidates has been fueled by donors on Wall Street, Silicon Valley and Hollywood.
Harris has also successfully raised funds online since her campaign in July, which has allowed her to maintain an easy fundraising schedule, with Harris participating in only a few high-money fundraising events, including one in Washington last weekendEvents.She plans to stay in Los Angeles and San Francisco next weekend, where she has built a donor network while serving as a local and state election official in California.
Harris sent a strong backup, including campaign mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Waltz and her husband Doug Emhoff, who will be the lead in the fundraising event.
