- John Deaton, a private attorney and popular crypto advocate, had declared that he would be running against long-standing Senator Elizabeth Warren in this year’s US Senate election.
- The retired US Marine and Managing Partner at Deaton Law Firm will take on Warren in the rumble to become the next senior US Senator for Massachusetts.
John Deaton to Take on Elizabeth Warren – a Win for the Crypto Industry
In a big announcement on X today, Deaton has officially confirmed he’s going against Warren in a bid to become US Senator for Massachusetts. He has also posted the official website for his Senatorial race where everyone can see his profile as well as donate to the cause.
“Washington, D.C. is broken, and in more than a decade in office, Elizabeth Warren has done nothing to fix it – in fact, she’s become a big part of the problem,” said Deaton in his announcement video titled No Fear, Never Give Up.
Rumors of Deaton’s desire to run against Warren first broke out about a week ago. His newfound political desire sent the internet buzzing, with the bulk of the excitement settling within the crypto industry. The reason is that the acclaimed lawyer has been a strong advocate of the cryptocurrency industry – a position that automatically set him at odds with Senator Warren and her cohorts – who tilt more to an anti-crypto zone.
Cryptocurrency Lawyer James Murphy in a social media post gave a thumbs up to Deaton’s determination stating that he had all it took to “pull off an upset that would shock the world.” According to Murphy, nobody could read Deaton’s book Food Stamp Warrior and still have doubts about how well the retired US Marine Major stacks up against Warren.
However, Murphy seemed to raise a bit of a concern in his post. The challenge was about how to get enough financing for Deaton’s campaigns. “The key question is–can John get the financial support he would need to get his message out?” added Murphy.
Murphy also cited that many crypto investors have “made enormous profits over the last twelve months. But “Will they step up?” Murphy was among the first people to post that Deaton’s Senatorial bid is now official. In the exciting announcement, Murphy said “Massachusetts will once again lead the way to a new rebirth of Freedom in this Great Nation.”
The Crypto Industry Is Ready to Support Deaton in His Senatorial Race
Deaton’s confirmation as Senator Warren’s Republican opponent is nothing short of an answered prayer to the cryptocurrency industry. Warren is considered an archenemy of the industry, especially with her constant verbal assaults on the industry and the Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act that she’s vehemently pushing to crack down on crypto activities. The industry has found a potential pro-crypto substitute for the renowned Senator thanks to Deaton.
Following Deaton’s confirmation, crypto fans are very eager to start sending funds to support his campaign and see him oust the current regime. Wendy O, one of the most popular female crypto YouTubers has already said she’d “donate and help raise funds” when Deaton’s Senatorial ambition was still a rumor. Following the official announcement, Wendy O has reaffirmed her support in a post on her X handle.
“John has my support 100% and I hope yours as well,” she said. “It is important to replace corruption with change and I think this is what is needed.”
The cryptocurrency community is brewing with astounding solidarity for Deaton. With the way it’s going, he should get all the funds and good hands he needs for a successful campaign in the coming days. His win in Massachusetts in the next Senatorial election will definitely be a win for the industry.
