Crypto lawyer John Deaton enters race to unseat Senator Elizabeth Warren
-
John Deaton formally entered the race to challenge Sen. Elizabeth Warren for her Senate seat. He is known for his role as a pro-crypto lawyer in the SEC's case against Ripple.

Warren sent supporters an email asking for donations to "keep fighting," claiming crypto lobbyists are targeting her for her "stance against crypto scams."

Deaton branded himself as a father, cancer survivor, marine veteran. But the crypto community knows him for his role in the Ripple/SEC lawsuit.
-
The XRP community has come out in full support of Deaton due to his efforts in the Ripple case.

The wider crypto community also supports Deaton, frustrated with Warren's "anti-crypto" positions like over-regulation.
