Former White House Director of Communications Anthony Scaramucci reacted tongue-in-cheek to Vice President Kamala Harris’ supportive comments about digital assets, which would mark a departure from the current administration’s track record.
What Happened: Scaramucci, who will be a headline speaker at Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19, quipped on his X account that “Kamala means Bitcoin in every language.”
The Democratic presidential nominee had previously promised to encourage “innovative technologies like AI and digital assets” at a fundraiser in Manhattan.
