🔥 John Deaton Eyes Senate Run Against Elizabeth Warren
posted 15 Feb 2024
John Deaton, a prominent lawyer and cryptocurrency advocate known for defending Ripple in court, is contemplating a run as a Republican candidate in the Massachusetts Senate race. This was confirmed by political strategist Jim Conroy, who recently discussed the upcoming elections with Deaton.
Should Deaton officially enter the race, he would be facing off against Democrat Elizabeth Warren, a well-known critic of digital assets. Despite Warren's current lead in the polls with 41%, the Republican Party views her position as vulnerable, believing a strong candidate could overtake her.
The Republicans are eyeing Deaton for his legal prowess and ability to attract voter sympathy. Furthermore, he is well-known for his longstanding opposition to Warren's efforts to hinder the proper regulation of digital assets, particularly in the area of money laundering.
However, the Republicans' ambitions extend beyond merely winning the election. They aim to use the campaign to distract Warren from her effective fundraising activities for Democratic candidates in other states, highlighted by her raising $850,000 for her own campaign in the last quarter of 2023 alone.
