In a bruising loss for the crypto super PACs, incumbent Democrat and reliable crypto industry ally Shri Thanedar was defeated by a primary challenge from the left, despite $2 million in super PAC backing.

Senators were promising to bring the crypto industry-friendly Clarity Act bill to a vote up until the eleventh hour before August recess. Now they’re promising a cloture vote immediately upon return, though likely only to create target lists for the crypto super PACs. The bill is not likely to pass.
With 60 votes needed, seven Democrats would need to cross the aisle. Even the crypto-friendliest Democrats have refused to support the bill, and several Republicans have also pledged to vote against it. The White House hasn’t okayed the latest ethics language, leaving the risk of veto looming.

In American politics, you’ve probably seen the news causing a stir, as yet another progressive candidate secured the Democratic nomination for the November Senate election.
It seems that many voters no longer like their party’s candidates to be traditional, ineffective, run-of-the-mill politicians produced by the party machine and heavily dependent on corporate donors. And apparently, tens of millions of dollars do not always buy what it used to.
