Putin Endorses Kamala Harris’ Campaign
Because the US elections catch up with, the presidential candidates proceed to receive support from various industry figures, politicians, and world leaders. Republican candidate Donald Trump has been endorsed by many figures within the sector and pro-crypto former candidates like Vivek Ramaswamy and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Meanwhile, the Democratic nominee and US VP, Kamala Harris, has also received support from some industry executives and advocates despite her unclear stance on the sector. Most recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin joined the voices advocating for Harris’ presidential campaign for the upcoming elections.
Through the plenary session on the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF), Putin shared his support for the US VP following Biden’s rally dropout. The Russian president had previously endorsed Joe Biden’s reelection, stating he was his “favorite” candidate.
As reported by news outlet Sputnik, Putin suggested that the Russian government would follow Biden’s “advice” and support the Democratic candidate:
I once said that if we are able to name a favourite candidate, it will be Joe Biden, but now he’s not participating within the election campaign. He really helpful supporting [Kamala] Harris. So, that’s what we’re going to do…
Moreover, the Russian president expressed a fascination for the US VP’s laugh, which has also captivated the web’s attention and inspired a series of memes using recordings of her voice. “Her laugh is so fascinating. It implies that the whole lot is sweet,” stated the Russian leader.
KAMA Memecoin Jumps 16%
On Wednesday night, Kamala Horris (KAMA), a Kamala Harris-themed memecoin, registered a jump of over 15% amid the market fluctuation. The surge was seemingly fueled by reports claiming the VP’s campaign was accepting crypto donations through Coinbase.
Yesterday, Fortune reported that Coinbase’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Alesia Haas, stated that the Democratic candidate was using the platform to simply accept donations in digital assets. Following the speculation, it was later revealed that Harris’ campaign wasn’t directly accepting crypto.
As a Coinbase representative clarified, the CFO comments seemingly referred to the Future Forward Political Motion Committee (PAC), a Democratic Party-aligned super PAC, dedicated to supporting the party’s nominee.
The KAMA memecoin momentarily became the biggest gainer among the many top tokens within the PolitiFi sector, but quickly retraced 11%. Nevertheless, within the early hours of Thursday, KAMA surged one other 10%, retesting the $0.009 zone again.
