Binance Advisor Joins Harris' Presidential Campaign

The former Obama campaign aide and Binance advisor, David Plouffe, has reportedly joined Kamala Harris' campaign for president, according to Politico. Plouffe entered the cryptocurrency industry after leaving the White House in 2013. He joined Binance's Global Advisory Board in 2022, and in 2023, he became a global strategic advisor for Alchemy Pay. Plouffe is a veteran political strategist who helped Barack Obama win the presidency in 2008 and 2012. He is also the author of the bestselling book "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream." It is not yet clear what role Plouffe will play in the Harris campaign. However, his experience in politics and the cryptocurrency industry could be valuable to Harris as she seeks to win the Democratic nomination and the presidency. The addition of Plouffe to the Harris campaign is a sign that the cryptocurrency industry is becoming increasingly involved in politics. As the industry grows and matures, it is likely that we will see more and more cryptocurrency experts and advisors playing a role in political campaigns.
