Crypto lawyer plans to challenge Warren's Senate seat
-
John Deaton, a crypto attorney, is reportedly planning to challenge Elizabeth Warren for her Senate seat in 2023. He recently moved to Massachusetts to establish residency.
-
Deaton has criticized Warren's stance against cryptocurrencies, calling her a "government overreach hack" on social media.
-
Warren announced last year she would seek reelection. She easily won reelection in 2018 and defeated Scott Brown in 2012.
-
Deaton has an unconventional background - he worked in asbestos law and recently shifted to crypto advocacy. His memoir details past financial struggles.

Deaton seems ready to self-fund with $500K, but Warren has proven adept at fundraising. Her team says she "takes nothing for granted" despite her popularity.
