Along with the presidential elections to be held in the USA on 5 November, senators in the states will also be elected. Winning senators will be guaranteed to sit in their seats for another 6 years, not 4 years like presidents.

Crypto supporter and enemy face to face…

For Massachusetts, one of the most important states of the USA in terms of finance, two crypto-supportive and anti-crypto candidates are competing. In 2020, John Deaton, a lawyer who made a name for himself in the crypto world by providing information about the process after the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple, is the Republican candidate.

Opposite him is Elizabeth Warren, who is also well known in the crypto world but does not look very favourably. Although it is certain that Warren will prevail over Deaton, a surprise and great support came to the crypto-supporting lawyer.

One-word support …

Elon Musk, one of the richest business people in the US and the world, backed Deaton, albeit with a single word on X. Musk re-shared Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong’s tweet that Deaton should be supported, saying ‘Yes’, in other words, ‘RT with comment’.

Musk’s one-word support may seem insufficient for some, but it is known that every tweet of the businessman with more than 200 million followers on X is instantly followed by millions of people.

Considering that Republicans campaign much more actively than Democrats, especially on social media, the impact of this one word may be much more than it seems.

Elizabeth Warren is one of the names known for her anti-crypto in recent years and argues that cryptocurrencies should be banned in the US.
