ChainCatcher news, Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss expressed skepticism on the X platform regarding Vice President Harris's absence from the cryptocurrency roundtable yesterday: "Can someone explain why Kamala Harris didn't attend the cryptocurrency roundtable yesterday? I know she's campaigning, but the meeting was virtual. All she needed was an internet connection. Was it a technical difficulty?"Fox reporter Eleanor Terrett commented: "My understanding is that this meeting was originally supposed to be a 'government-focused' meeting, rather than a 'Harris campaign-focused' meeting. One attendee told me that an administration official expressed this distinction early in the meeting. I was also informed that this might be the reason Anita Dunn did not attend, as she has transitioned from the original administration staff to Harris's campaign team."
