Saltık Kamala Harris, one of the candidates for the US presidential race, announced the new program of the Democratic Party. However, it was striking that this program did not include topics such as blockchain technology, Bitcoin, digital assets or cryptocurrencies. This situation was criticized, especially in comparison to the Republican Party’s section titled “supporting innovation” in these areas.
Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett stated that the Republican Party’s program included topics such as cryptocurrencies, artificial intelligence and space travel. This absence was interpreted by the cryptocurrency community and pro-innovation circles as the Democratic Party not giving enough importance to technology.

The Democratic Party’s platform appears to have been prepared and approved before President Joe Biden withdrew from the race. The platform was finalized by the Platform Committee on July 16, a few days before Biden withdrew from the race on July 21. This document is expected to be officially voted on by Congressional delegates on Monday night.
After Biden’s withdrawal, there was a movement among entrepreneurs and lawmakers to strengthen ties between the cryptocurrency industry and the possible Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. Last week, a local network called Crypto4Harris, organized in support of Harris, held a meeting to discuss the Democratic Party’s vision for digital asset innovation and regulation.
These developments have raised the crypto community’s expectations for the Democratic Party’s technology and innovation policies, and how Kamala Harris will approach these issues has become a matter of curiosity.
