Vice President Kamala Harris is focused on keeping the United States at the forefront of technologies like blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI).
Speaking at The Economic Club of Pittsburgh on September 25, Harris stated, “We will invest in biomanufacturing and aerospace, remain dominant in AI and quantum computing, blockchain and other emerging technologies, expand our lead in clean energy innovation and manufacturing.”
She also stressed that the next wave of innovations, ranging from advanced batteries to nuclear energy, would not only be conceptualized in America but would also be produced domestically by American workers.

What is Yield Farming in Crypto? (Animated Explanation)
Harris had not publicly discussed her views on cryptocurrencies before a few days ago when she said she would encourage technologies like digital assets while protecting consumers and investors. This stance was also briefly touched upon in her recently released economic plan.
Overall, her statements about innovation underscore her commitment to keeping the US a leader in global technological advancement.
While Harris hasn’t been bold about supporting crypto, her rival, Donald Trump, has emerged as a strong ally. Speaking at the Bitcoin conference, he promised to appoint pro-crypto regulators and suggested creating a national Bitcoin reserve if re-elected. Trump is also launching a DeFi platform called World Liberty Financial, aimed at challenging the traditional banking system.
In a more lighthearted demonstration of support for crypto, Trump treated his fans to burgers at a bar and paid in Bitcoin.
