Kamala Harris Highlights Crypto and AI at $27 Million New York Fundraiser

• Kamala Harris raised $27M at a Manhattan fundraiser, the largest since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee.
• Harris emphasized AI and crypto innovation while ensuring consumer protection as part of her opportunity economy vision.
• Harris plans to release new economic policies aimed at wealth-building and business incentives, gaining momentum in swing state polls.

Kamala Harris directly addressed the growing crypto industry and artificial intelligence (AI) during a major fundraiser in Manhattan. The event, which took place at Cipriani Wall Street, marked her first significant comments on these industries. Harris made it clear that her administration will support innovation while ensuring consumer and investor protections remain intact.

Harris outlined her vision for an opportunity economy, which includes integrating emerging technologies such as AI and digital assets. She expressed a commitment to bringing together labor, small businesses, and major companies to enhance America’s competitiveness. 

Kamala Harris Major Fundraising Success

The organizers branded the fundraiser as the last chance to see Harris in person before the November election. The fundraiser was well attended and was graced by prominent figures such as Billy Porter, Whoopi Goldberg, and Anne Hathaway. 

The ticket prices were up for sale starting from $500 to $1 million and the event generated $27 million. Compared to the $25 million raised by Trump during the Bitcoin Conference , she leads the way in total contributions. This is her single-largest fundraising effort since becoming the Democratic nominee. 

New Economic Policies 

In addition to her comments on AI and crypto, Harris hinted at the upcoming release of new economic policies aimed at helping Americans build wealth. These policies will offer incentives to businesses and focus on economic growth. Harris is expected to further outline her economic agenda in a speech later this week.

This announcement follows her rising poll numbers after a debate with Trump. The latest data from election prediction market Polymarket shows Harris leading in four out of six swing states . This surge reflects increasing voter confidence in her ability to handle key economic issues.

With early voting already underway in several states, Harris’ momentum continues to grow. Trump, however, remains competitive in a few key states, despite Harris’ growing financial and polling advantage. Her focus on economic policies and emerging technologies like AI and crypto may further solidify her lead as Election Day approaches.
