Donations from Crypto Industry Figures
Deaton’s campaign has reported raising $1.36 million in Q1, surpassing Warren’s $1.1 million. Notably, Deaton has received donations from key figures in the crypto industry, including Brad Garlinghouse, Chris Larsen, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, Charles Hoskinson, Jameson Lopp, and Anthony Scaramucci.
Maximum Donations
According to Politico, prominent donors like Garlinghouse, Larsen, Scaramucci, and the Winklevoss twins have contributed the maximum donations of $6600 for Deaton’s campaign.
Deaton’s Stance on Special Interests
Warren had previously warned her supporters about Deaton’s potential funding sources, cautioning against powerful special interests, Wall Street, and the GOP. Deaton’s history in the crypto industry, highlighted by his representation of XRP holders in a lawsuit against the SEC, has been a focal point of his campaign.
Policy Disagreements
Besides crypto-related issues, Warren and Deaton hold differing views on various partisan topics such as student loan forgiveness, the migrant crisis, and Federal Reserve’s monetary policy.
Deaton’s Determination
Expressing his determination, Deaton stated, “I’ve beaten the odds as an underdog my entire life and I’m going to do it again. The only difference this time is the world will get to witness it.”
