Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Tesla, AMC, Meta And Crypto Analyst Predicts Dogecoin Will Follow Historical Pattern

Electric-vehicle makers&#8217; shares pulled back this week amid the broader market weakness, with market leader Tesla, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39926440/tesla-stock-is-plunging-over-7-in-wednesdays-pre-market-after-q2-earnings-whats-going-on">earnings not offering any respite</a>.
Here&#8217;s a rundown on what happened in the EV space during the week:
Tesla Posts Mixed Results: Kicking off the EV reporting season this week, Tesla had a mixed tale to tell. Second-quarter revenue exceeded expectations but earnings per share trailed estimates. Fund Manager Gary Black blamed the earnings per share miss on restructuring charges related to job cuts. Investors also fretted over a surge in regulatory credits and management commentary regarding a notable drop in volume this year.
CEO Elon Musk tried to rev up sentiment by pointing to the promise that robotics holds for the company and raving over Tesla&#8217;s full self-driving software. He also said the eagerly awaited robotaxi event has been shifted to Oct. 10. Investors did not buy into the potential of the energy storage business, which doubled during the quarter. The stock, which had been rebounding nicely ahead of the quarterly results, reversed course and ended with a weekly drop of more than 8%.
Rivian&#8217;s Scaringe Talks Up New R2 Platform: In a podcast, Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) CEO R.J. Scaringe said Tesla&#8217;s Model Y and Model 3 EVs, though excellent, have saturated the market, leaving buyers craving variety. &#8220;If you want to spend less than $50,000 for an EV, I'd say there's a very, very small number of great products,&#8221; Scaringe <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/decoder-with-nilay-patel/id1011668648?i=1000662961702">told</a> the Decoder podcast in December.
While many EV companies have tried to replicate the success Tesla has had with the Model Y EVs, they have not focused on giving diverse choices. Scaringe also clarified that Rivian&#8217;s R2 platform-based will not be a Model Y copycat.

GM To Go Slow On EVs: On its earnings call this week, General Motors Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) said it was slowing plans for EVs by delaying a second EV truck plant in Michigan by six months and delaying the first Buick brand EV. The delay until mid-2025 suggests GM may not hit its 2025 production target of one million EVs. CEO Mary Barra said the company is looking to grow &#8220;responsibly and profitably.&#8221; EVs accounted for just 3.2% of GM&#8217;s total second-quarter U.S. sales.
Xiaomi Quick With EV Ramp-Up: Xiaomi Corporation (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>) Chairman and CEO Lei Jun said in a Weibo post that the smartphone maker is on track to meet its annual delivery target of 100,000 EV units for 2024 two months ahead of schedule, CnEVPost <a href="https://cnevpost.com/2024/07/26/xiaomi-completes-capacity-ramp-up-100000-target-nov/">reported</a>. According to the report, Jun said that Xiaomi has completed its factory capacity ramp-up and has sold 30,000 units of its SU7 model in a little over three months since the vehicle&#8217;s launch.
Lucid Stitches Battery Material Deal:  Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ LCID) announced an agreement with mineral exploration company Graphite One Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPHOF#OTC">GPHOF</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39959245/whats-going-on-with-lucid-group-stock-today">for the supply of anode active materials</a>.
&#8220;We are committed to accelerating the transition to sustainable vehicles and the development of a robust domestic supply chain ensures the United States, and Lucid, will maintain technology leadership in this global race,&#8221; said Lucid CEO/CTO Peter Rawlinson. &#8220;Through work with partners like Graphite One, we will have access to American-sourced critical raw materials, helping power our award-winning vehicles made with pride in Arizona.&#8221;
The KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KARS#NYSE">KARS</a>) ended Friday&#8217;s session up 0.72% at $19.31 according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Pro data</a>. For the week, the ETF fell 3.84%.

Elon Musk's Optimism Doesn't Rub Off On Investors, Rivian CEO Says R2 Not Model Y Copycat, GM's EV Goals Scaled Back Yet Again And More: Biggest EV Stories Of The Week

In response to a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision, California Gov. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gavin-newsom" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gavin Newsom</a> announced an executive order on Thursday directing state officials to initiate the removal of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39875041/gavin-newsom-backs-kamala-harris-calls-vp-tough-fearless-and-tenacious-the-ideal-candidate-to-counte" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">homeless encampments across the state.</a>
Last month, the high court upheld an Oregon city&#8217;s practice of ticketing homeless individuals for sleeping outside, rejecting claims that such &#8220;anti-camping&#8221; ordinances infringed on the Constitutional prohibition against &#8220;cruel and unusual&#8221; punishment, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/25/us/gavin-newsom-executive-order-homeless-encampments/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported </a>CNN.
&#8220;This executive order directs state agencies to move urgently to address dangerous encampments while supporting and assisting the individuals living in them — and provides guidance for cities and counties to do the same,&#8221; Newsom said. &#8220;There are simply no more excuses. It&#8217;s time for everyone to do their part.&#8221;

According to a 2023 report from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development submitted to Congress, California has the largest homeless population in the country, exceeding 180,000 individuals.
The nationwide estimate for people experiencing homelessness stands at approximately 653,100, marking an increase of about 12% since 2022.
California&#8217;s response to the Supreme Court decision is attracting significant attention from other cities and states. Newsom&#8217;s executive order has sparked controversy, drawing criticism from both homeless advocates and some elected officials.
Michael Weinstein, president of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and leader of the Housing is a Human Right initiative, criticized Newsom&#8217;s actions as an attempt to &#8220;criminalize poverty&#8221; and a continuation of &#8220;failed policies.&#8221;
In a statement released Thursday, Weinstein questioned, &#8220;Governor Newsom, where do you expect people to go? This is a shameful moment in California history.&#8221;

Human Rights Advocates Condemn Gov. Newsom's Homeless Encampment Removal Order: 'Shameful Moment In California History'

In a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36cvblilqe8">installment</a> of Prof G Markets, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/anthony-scaramucci">Anthony Scaramucci</a>, the founder and managing partner of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/skybridge-capital">SkyBridge Capital</a>, shared his thoughts with podcast host Scott Galloway on Donald Trump's political strategies and their potential impact on the country. Scaramucci, who once served as Trump's Communications Director, didn&#8217;t hold back in his critique.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? &#8211;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/retire-5mil-nest-egg"> How does it compare to the average?</a></li>
<li>A billion-dollar investment strategy with minimums as low as $10 —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/fundrise-flagship-fund"> you can become part of the next big real estate boom today.</a></li>
</ul>
Scaramucci argued that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39630382/paul-krugman-says-trump-tariffs-will-hurt-80-of-americans-benefit-only-the-top-1-burden-would-fall-o">Trump's proposal for extremely high tariffs</a> would disproportionately harm poor people. "[Tariffs] are regressive taxes on poor people," he said. In translation, they hit lower-income individuals the hardest. This, he suggested, contradicts Trump's image as a pro-business leader, as the economic burden would fall on those least able to bear it.
When the host asked him whether he thinks Trump is serious about implementing these tariffs, Scaramucci said, &#8220;This guy knows how to boil a frog better than anybody I&#8217;ve ever met. You're in the cold water, and he simmers the frog until the frog is dead. Do you know, many things from 2016 to today that we could say, is he serious about that, and then you say, oh no, he&#8217;s not serious about that, and he does it? You're like, holy sh&#x2A;t, he is serious … and then he does it again.&#8221;

According to Scaramucci, Trump's actions always aim to consolidate his power. "Always look at this through the prism of Trump's power," he advised before continuing, &#8220;This is not a public servant. He&#8217;s not there to serve his fellow men and women. He&#8217;s there to serve himself. He&#8217;s there to serve his cronies. Classic totalitarianism.&#8221;
He pointed out that Americans lack a historical memory of dictatorship and authoritarianism, unlike Europeans, who have visible reminders of past fascism. He stressed the importance of educating people about these dangers to prevent a slide into authoritarianism.
Trending: This investment company boasts a 35.14% internal rate of return (IRR) for its realized projects, allowing accredited investors to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bam-capital"> earn passive returns and avoid the headaches of being a landlord.</a>
Scaramucci said that despite the political turmoil, the markets have been surprisingly stable when asked about how the markets have reacted to all of this. "Markets like split governments. [They] like inertia," he explained, suggesting that the Federal Reserve's actions, like rate hikes, have been key. He expects rate cuts by the end of the year, which he believes will continue to drive the market, regardless of the election outcome.
Scaramucci's warnings about Trump are serious. Still, we have to look at the bigger picture. Historically, Trump's policies and leadership style have strong supporters and vocal critics. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39946360/trump-vs-harris-2024-election-candidates-tied-in-new-poll-65-of-democrats-say-biden-stepping-dow">country is split in half</a>. Supporters say his unique approach shakes things up and defends American interests. Critics like Scaramucci caution about the dangers of too much power and the potential harm to those who are less fortunate. Ultimately, it&#8217;s up to each individual to weigh these perspectives carefully for themselves.

Trump Is 'Calling For Sky-high Tariffs Which Will Cripple Poor People,' Says Anthony Scaramucci – 'This Guy Knows How To Boil A Frog'

Crypto analyst and macro expert Raoul Pal has projected a significant bullish surge for Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), anticipating it to outperform Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39241558/analyst-predicts-bitcoin-to-reach-groundbreaking-100-000-milestone">in the ongoing cycle.</a>
What Happened: In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2uSDlgXhFY">video</a> on YouTube on Friday, Pal pointed out that Solana is demonstrating a classic bullish inverse head and shoulders pattern (I-HNS) against Bitcoin.
&#8220;That's a killer inverse head and shoulders, cup and handle, whatever it is. It's suggesting there is a very big move to come in this cross, meaning Solana is going to outperform a lot,&#8221; Pal said. 
An I-HNS pattern is a bullish technical formation. The right shoulder indicates that investors are eager to accumulate the asset without waiting for the price to fall to its previous low.
Pal also hinted at a bullish pattern for Solana that could lead to a price target of $265, a more than 45% gain from the current value.

According to Pal&#8217;s chart analysis, Solana has turned the diagonal resistance of a triangle pattern into support. Last month, he stated that the crypto market is approaching the &#8220;Banana Zone,&#8221; a period of sustained uptrend for Bitcoin and other digital assets.
"Solana, well, it's breaking out. It's retesting that breakout. That's what it's been doing the last couple of days. Looks beautiful. We want to see this kind of stuff, because test, retesting of breakouts, bit of sideways consolidation, brings you the power of the banana, which is all we care about," he added. 
Pal&#8217;s bullish prediction for Solana is significant. His analysis suggests that Solana&#8217;s current pattern could lead to a substantial price increase, which would be a notable development in the crypto market. 
Furthermore, his forecast of the &#8220;Banana Zone&#8221; indicates a potential uptrend for not only Bitcoin but other digital assets as well.

As Kamala Harris pivots from Vice President to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39908377/kamala-harris-secures-majority-backing-for-2024-democratic-nomination-ap-survey">presumptive Democratic nominee for president</a>, her financial disclosures show a desirable piece of her portfolio – a 2.625% mortgage rate on her Los Angeles home.
That rate, secured in 2020, is a relic of the pandemic era&#8217;s historically low interest rates. With today&#8217;s average 30-year fixed mortgage rates hovering near 7%, Harris&#8217; loan terms point to the difference between the housing market then and now.

According to a review of her financial disclosures by The Wall Street Journal, the Vice President and her husband, Doug Emhoff, refinanced their 3,500-square-foot Brentwood-area home with a $2 million, seven-year adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) from Wells Fargo. That move allowed them to take advantage of the low-rate environment during the pandemic. Harris and Emhoff&#8217;s decision to opt for an ARM rather than a fixed-rate mortgage is a strategy often used by high-net-worth individuals. Gordon Miller, a mortgage broker in Cary, N.C., explained to the Journal that wealthy clients frequently refinance ARMs at the same rate before they reset, effectively extending the loan&#8217;s favorable terms.

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
The property has also appreciated in value. The four-bedroom home, purchased by Emhoff in 2012 for about $2.7 million, has nearly doubled in value, with current estimates from Zillow placing its value at around $5 million.
The couple&#8217;s real estate portfolio extends beyond their Los Angeles residence. Records show that Harris previously owned other properties in California and Washington, D.C.
Beyond their mortgage, Harris and Emhoff have assets valued between $3.6 million and $7.36 million (excluding real estate), and the Journal noted that much of their wealth is held in retirement accounts and low-cost index funds.

The couple earned around $450,000 in 2023 (including Harris' Vice President salary of $218,784), a decrease from previous years due to Emhoff&#8217;s departure from his law partnership.
As Harris makes her case to lead the country – with President Joe Biden dropping out of the race on Sunday – her financial disclosures show careful, conservative management.
The Road Ahead: With the nomination all but secured, the Democratic National Committee has set Aug. 1 as the likely start date for delegate voting, marking the formal beginning of Harris&#8217;s journey as the presumptive nominee.
Harris&#8217;s path to the nomination appears clear with no plausible challengers on the horizon and endorsements pouring in from party heavyweights like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39922362/hillary-clinton-says-kamala-harris-is-chronically-underestimated-says-vp-can-prosecute-a-compelling">Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton</a>.

What's In Kamala Harris' Wallet? Millions Of Dollars, And A 2.625% Mortgage Rate

Financial access remains a significant hurdle for diverse business owners in the cannabis industry. Despite the industry&#8217;s rapid growth, minority entrepreneurs often face barriers to securing funding, navigating regulatory complexities and gaining equitable opportunities. According to a 2017 survey by Marijuana Business Daily, only 4.3% of cannabis business owners identified as African American, highlighting the disparity in representation and financial access within the industry.
Similarly, a 2021 report by the Minority Cannabis Business Association (MCBA) found that access to capital was one of the primary challenges for minority cannabis entrepreneurs, with 72% of respondents indicating it as a critical barrier​.
Minority entrepreneurs often encounter regulatory complexities, limited access to banking services and higher interest rates compared to their counterparts. These challenges are exacerbated by the federal status of cannabis, which complicates financial transactions and access to traditional banking services.
To address these inequities, Cannas Capital Holdings has launched the Bank Black Initiative, an AI-powered system designed to bridge the racial wealth gap by ensuring equitable financial access for diverse-status business owners. The initiative aims to become an ASTM Global Standard Guideline for Social Equity Lending, providing a comprehensive framework to support minority entrepreneurs in the cannabis sector.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Economic Empowerment Through Financial Literacy And Access To Capital</h2>
Cannas Capital&#8217;s Bank Black program utilizes an AI-operating system that goes beyond traditional underwriting metrics. While it considers essential factors such as management team, payment history and collateral support, the system also integrates additional components including community and demographic analysis, social capital assessment, institutional support, risk mitigation strategies, long-term sustainability, regulatory compliance and continuous monitoring. This holistic approach ensures that the full spectrum of a business's context and potential is evaluated, promoting fair and equitable access to financial resources.
The firm is dedicated to economic empowerment through financial literacy programs, business credit building and small business development. It facilitates access to capital by creating a network of lenders, establishing underwriting metrics for stakeholders and providing financial literacy training. These efforts are aimed at addressing the systemic barriers that minority entrepreneurs face, helping them build sustainable and successful businesses in the cannabis industry.
In addition, Cannas Capital has formed strategic partnerships to further its mission. Collaborations with organizations such as Infused Banking, a fintech and training company, and FinResults, a fintech company specializing in compliance and data-intensive business solutions, have enhanced the organization&#8217;s capabilities. These partnerships facilitate knowledge-sharing, idea exchange, and collaboration among banks, credit unions and other financial organizations.
Cannas Capital has already made significant strides in addressing these barriers. The firm has facilitated the funding of over 400 insurance policies in the commercial cannabis industry and helped numerous minority-owned businesses secure essential capital.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Leadership Team Focused On Community Impact</h2>
Cimone Cason, CEO of Cannas Capital Holdings, has been instrumental in driving the company&#8217;s mission. As a city commissioner, Cason approved the first minority-owned cannabis company in her local municipality. She also serves as the chairwoman of the National Cannabis Industry Association Risk Management Committee and is involved with ASTM International and the NAIC Cannabis Workgroup.
Under her leadership, Cannas Capital Holdings has achieved notable successes, including the creation of Michigan&#8217;s Social Equity Programs: Joint Ventures and All-Star Program, and the approval of the first Social Equity Awardee Dispensary in a local municipality. The organization also established a Social Equity Discount program for commercial cannabis businesses nationwide.
Cannas Capital Holdings&#8217; commitment to social equity and economic empowerment has had a significant impact on minority communities. &#8220;The Cannas Capital Collective has provided us with the tools and knowledge to build a strong business by aiding my company in obtaining consumer lending, risk management, and establishing a business credit profile,&#8221; said Charles Inyang, a beneficiary of the program.
&#8220;Their commitment to helping cannabis companies gain funding in an economic environment that limits funding opportunities has been groundbreaking. We&#8217;ve seen significant improvements in our local economy,&#8221; stated a representative from Minorities 4 Medical Marijuana.
As Cannas Capital Holdings continues to drive innovation and inclusivity in the cannabis industry, the potential for lasting impact grows. By addressing financial inequities and empowering minority entrepreneurs, initiatives like Bank Black are not only fostering social equity but also paving the way for a more diverse and thriving cannabis industry. The success of such programs could serve as a model for other sectors, highlighting the importance of inclusive financial practices in creating sustainable economic growth.
Looking ahead, the continued efforts of Cannas Capital Holdings to champion social equity and economic empowerment are poised to transform the cannabis industry. By dismantling financial barriers and fostering an inclusive business environment, Cannas Capital is helping to create a more equitable future for minority entrepreneurs. Their work underscores the critical role that innovative financial solutions play in driving both industry growth and social progress.

Inside The AI-Driven Initiative Pioneering Financial Inclusion In The Cannabis Industry: Cannas Capital's 'Bank Black' Program

Imagine a world where everyone gets the same basic income with no strings attached. Sounds far-fetched, but OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is one step closer to achieving this goal with the help of Open<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39976031/visa-leverages-ai-to-prevent-40b-in-fraud-how-machine-learning-is-combatting-the-surge-in-cyberc">AI</a>.&nbsp;
Altman and a nonprofit research organization, OpenResearch, have been studying the effects of a no-strings-attached universal income, and the results have been positive. Over the past several years, more than 150 local studies have explored a universal $1,000 salary, but the largest of these pilot studies came from OpenResearch.

</ul>
According to Bloomberg, the study has been distributing $1,000 monthly to people in Illinois and Texas to help with basic needs and expenses for three years. Researchers released their findings and concluded that the $1,000 "can be used to address recipients' specific needs, is responsive to changing demands, and creates the possibility for increased agency."&nbsp;
Altman's universal income theory, backed by AI, could not come at a better time as millions of Americans are struggling to pay for basic necessities like rent and food amid the rising <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39947663/peter-schiff-says-americans-are-broke-points-to-fords-dismal-q2-profit-they-cant-afford-to-buy-n">cost of living</a>. ABC News reported that a recent Harvard study revealed that around half of American renters are heavily burdened by the cost of housing. Harvard found that middle-income renters are the hardest hit. For example, nearly 40% of households earning $45,000 to $74,999 were rent-burdened.&nbsp;
Trending: Here&#8217;s the AI-powered startup that turns traders into influencers achieving 12% monthly growth –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/xtrades"> invest in it at only 10 cents per share.</a>
Sarah Saadian, the Senior Vice President of Public Policy and Field Organizing at the National Low-Income Housing Coalition, told ABC News, "More and more households that are struggling to pay rent are living just one sort of financial shock away from facing evictions and, in worst cases, homelessness."&nbsp;
The three-year study examined how unconditional cash could help struggling households pay for housing. Elizabeth Rhodes, OpenResearch's research director, explained that the idea of the study was to provide flexibility in participants' spending. She said, "Cash is flexible. It&#8217;s an imprecise instrument if your goal is to move one outcome for everyone, but it moves some or many outcomes for everyone."&nbsp;
Trending: A billion-dollar investment strategy with minimums as low as $10 –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/fundrise-flagship-fund"> you can become part of the next big real estate boom today.</a>
The study began in 2020 with 3,000 participants in Texas and Illinois. Each participant was given $1,000 in cash per month and told to spend it however they wanted. Despite the freedom to spend the money on whatever they chose, the study found that participants used it to fund basic expenses like rent, food and transportation, rather than on vices like alcohol. Participants increased their monthly spending by $310, but on essentials. The study also explored how unconditional cash could affect low-income participants' employment decisions, and the results were also positive.&nbsp;
Results revealed that participants could make more flexible employment decisions that align with their goals and values, rather than just accepting the first job available with poor pay.&nbsp;
One participant of the study revealed in an interview, "Because of the [cash transfer] and being able to build up my savings, I'm in a position for once to be picky," and added, "I don't have to take a crappy job just because I need income right now. I have the opportunity to hold out and try and find the right fit." The results showed that participants worked 1.3 hours less per week, leaving them with more leisure time, which can be beneficial for their physical and emotional well-being.
So far, the results have been positive and have shown that a basic universal income can help lower-income families afford the basics. However, there have been results indicating that this additional cash has had no significant impact on physical or mental health. But with OpenAI constantly learning and evolving, Altman's dream is not as far away.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Sam Altman's Dream Of A Universal Basic Income Is One Step Closer With The Help Of Open AI

The investing portfolios of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Kamala Harris may differ, with a preference of individual stocks versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">exchange traded funds.</a>
What Happened: With President Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 election, Harris is the favorite to secure the Democratic Party nomination and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39892716/nancy-pelosi-endorses-kamala-harris-for-president-full-confidence-that-she-will-lead-us-to-victo">has received endorsements</a> from many people, including Pelosi.
While they are both Democrats and key political figures, Harris and Pelosi differ when it comes to investing.
Pelosi and her venture capitalist husband Paul Pelosi prefer to buy individual stocks and options, often in the technology sector. Compare that to the investment style of Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff, who have their money parked in mutual funds and ETFs.
Benzinga recently polled readers to see which investment style could be better.
"Kamala Harris' investments include mutual funds and S&amp;P 500 holdings, while Nancy Pelosi and her husband have purchased stocks like Nvidia, Apple and Tesla. Who do you think is a better investor?" Benzinga asked.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>Kamala Harris: 34%</li>
<li>Nancy Pelosi: 66%</li>
</ul>
The<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/nancy-pelosi"> Benzinga Government trades page</a> for Pelosi shows recent purchases of NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Broadcom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) and Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>).
According to a report from <a href="https://www.barrons.com/amp/articles/kamala-harris-wealth-investments-12983bda">Barrons</a>, Harris and Emhoff have between $2.9 million and $6.6 million in investments and cash based on financial disclosures. Among the investments include Harris having between $250,000 and $500,000 in a Target Date 2030 fund and between $100,000 and $250,000 in an S&amp;P fund and large-cap growth fund.
Emhoff has investments in several ETFs, including the iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEFA#BATS">IEFA</a>).
A Quiver Quant <a href="https://www.quiverquant.com/news/Kamala%20Harris%20Net%20Worth">report </a>shows the Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VUG#NYSE">VUG</a>) and the Vanguard Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTV#NYSE">VTV</a>) as two of the largest holdings by the vice president and first gentleman. The Vanguard Growth ETF is heavily weighting in technology stocks, making up 60% of the ETF. 
One thing the two political figures have in common with their investments is a preference to large cap stocks and not having large weightings of small cap stocks in their portfolios.

Only 1% Of Benzinga Readers Polled Are Buying Fewer Stocks, Here&#8217;s How Many Are Buying More</a>
Why It's Important: The net worth of Harris and Emhoff pales in comparison to her 2024 election opponent Donald Trump, who is a billionaire thanks to his investments and large stake in Trump Media &amp; Technology Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>).
"Does the difference in wealth between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump make her a more or less appealing candidate?" Benzinga asked.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>More appealing: 32%</li>
<li>Less appealing: 4%</li>
<li>Makes no difference to me: 64%</li>
</ul>
The poll found that potential voters don't care too much that Trump is worth significantly more than Harris. A larger amount of respondents said Harris is more appealing than less appealing based on her lower wealth amount.
Benzinga also asked if people were surprised by the $2.9 million to $6.6 million figure that is being reported for Harris and her husband's wealth.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>More than I expected: 29%</li>
<li>Less than I expected: 34%</li>
<li>About what I expected: 37%</li>
</ul>
The poll results were close, with the majority of respondents indicating that Harris&#8217;s wealth was in line with their expectations. Additionally, about one-third of the respondents felt that the amount was less than they anticipated.
Disclosures of investments for political figures has been a hot topic in recent years, with calls to ban members of Congress from trading stocks and options. The significant allocation to ETFs and mutual funds indicates that Harris has not been actively buying and trading individual stocks like some members of Congress and their spouses.
Harris and Pelosi may have investment commonalities of preference for technology and large-cap stocks, while both also mostly avoid small-cap stocks.

Nancy Pelosi Vs. Kamala Harris: Poll Shows Who People Think Is the Better Investor

Individual investors are gaining ground as large institutional buyers pull back from all-cash home purchases. Experts say this trend could level the playing field for everyday homebuyers.
According to a report issued by Realtor.com, the number of institutional investors who bought with cash fell to 64% in the first quarter, down from a peak of 69.7% in late 2021 and the lowest level since 2008. At the same time, individual investors – those who have purchased 10 or fewer homes since 2001 – now account for 62.6% of investor purchases, the highest share on record.

</ul>
&#8220;It&#8217;s better for everyone involved that institutional money is withdrawing from the single-family home space,&#8221; G. Brian Davis, a real estate investor and co-founder of property management software SparkRental, said to Realtor.com. &#8220;It creates less artificial demand among buyers, therefore reducing some upward pressure on prices. It also leaves room for mom-and-pop investors to operate.&#8221;
The change is coming as overall <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/opinion/24/07/39602191/private-equity-firms-are-buying-up-real-estate-in-these-areas">investor activity remains elevated</a> compared to pre-pandemic levels. In the first quarter, investors accounted for 14.8% of home purchases, the highest share on record, even as total home sales fell to their lowest level in more than a decade.
The rise of individual investors might reflect broader changes in attitudes toward real estate investment and financing. Brie Schmidt, owner and managing broker of Second City Real Estate in Chicago, told Realtor.com that nine out of 10 transactions she sees now involve ‘mom-and-pop' investors more likely to use financing.

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
&#8220;If an investment property in your market costs $200,000, you can buy one in all cash or put 20% down and buy five properties with the same amount of money,&#8221; Schmidt explained to Realtor.com. &#8220;It makes sense to maximize your capital and acquire more cash-flowing properties through financing.&#8221;
Realtor.com noted that the trend also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/02/37318402/you-are-going-to-burn-up-alive-suze-orman-hates-the-fire-movement-and-says-you-need-at-least-20-">aligns with the growing popularity</a> of the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement, which advocates for leveraging real estate investments to build wealth and fund early retirement. While cash offers are losing some of their luster, they remain popular in certain markets. Portland-South Portland, ME, Albuquerque, NM, and Toledo, OH, topped the list of metros with the highest share of all-cash investor purchases in the first quarter, exceeding 80%.

The shift away from all-cash purchases isn&#8217;t limited to investors, though. The share of non-investor buyers using all-cash offers has been growing since early 2021, hitting over 33% in the first quarter. The report noted that the increase is likely driven by high levels of home equity and elevated interest rates, which make cash purchases more attractive for those who can afford them.
Some real estate professionals see advantages in the current environment. Robert Dodson, sales manager and broker at Charles Burt Realtors in Missouri told Realtor.com that financing could give buyers more time for due diligence.
&#8220;Financing tends to create a longer timeline for closing,&#8221; Dodson told Realtor.com. &#8220;This allows buyers more due diligence periods for inspections, appraisal, and property data review, affording the investor the opportunity to become more educated on the asset.&#8221;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">US-WADA Conflict Over Doping Regulations</h3>
The longstanding discord between the U.S. and WADA stems from Russia&#8217;s doping scandal at the Sochi Olympics, criticized for being mishandled by WADA and the IOC, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/olympics-2024-doping-salt-lake-wada-2788597f9f5e16e5afdb940bd60d38b7">reports</a> AP News. In response, the U.S. passed the Rodchenkov <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/835/text">Act</a> in 2020 to empower federal investigations into sports doping, leading to heightened tensions, especially following a U.S. probe into doping among Chinese swimmers. This conflict, peaking with WADA&#8217;s threat of sanctions against USADA, casts doubts on the U.S.&#8217;s ability to host future international events like the 2034 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
"It's highly incorrect that one country tries to impose jurisdiction on anti-doping decisions on the rest of the world," said WADA president Witold Banka.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">WADA&#8217;s Stance On Cannabis: Unyielding</h3>

Richardson&#8217;s ordeal began with a positive test for cannabis during the 2021 U.S. Olympic trials, which resulted in her exclusion from the Tokyo Olympics. Her case brought to light the strictness of the regulations and the broader implications of how such rules intersect with personal adversities. Richardson was coping with her mother&#8217;s death at the time. Since then, she claimed the U.S. and world titles in sprinting and has become an influential figure in discussions about the fairness and relevance of cannabis prohibitions in sports, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/olympics-2024-track-shacarri-richardson-84393cda93c4cda879dd960001f31088">noted</a> AP News.
Another case in the ongoing evolution of cannabis regulation in Olympic sports is that of Ross Rebagliati. After clinching the first Olympic gold medal in men&#8217;s giant slalom snowboarding at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Rebagliati tested positive for cannabis, leading to the temporary stripping of his medal due to levels exceeding the threshold. Nevertheless, his claim that exposure to secondhand smoke caused the positive result led to the reinstatement of his medal upon appeal.
Furthermore, Rebagliati <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/10/35377517/from-a-stripped-olympic-gold-medal-to-successful-business-snowboarder-ross-rebagliatis-cannabis-">leveraged this experience into a cannabis advocacy and business venture</a>, founding a medical marijuana dispensary in 2013 and later launching his own brand, Ross&#8217; Gold.
As all eyes turn to Paris Olympics, the evolving conversation around cannabis regulations by WADA will continue to spark debate. Meanwhile, fans can watch Sha&#8217;Carri Richardson <a href="https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/schedule/athletics/women-s-100m?day=2-august">compete</a> in the Women's 100m on Friday, August 2.

Sha'Carri Richardson's Olympic Return: The Cannabis Debate Amid US-WADA Tensions Over Doping Laws

In a recent fireside chat hosted by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pablo-zuanic">Pablo Zuanic</a>, senior equity analyst, former U.S. Rep&nbsp;Ed Perlmutter shared his insights on the evolving cannabis landscape. 
With Congress grappling with cannabis rescheduling and banking reforms, Perlmutter&#39;s insider knowledge offers a crucial perspective for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">cannabis investors</a>.
&quot;When I first introduced this in 2013-2014, I had to deal with the chuckle factor,&quot; said&nbsp;Perlmutter, often hailed as the founding father&nbsp;of the SAFE Banking Bill.
The recent passage of a modified version, SAFER, in the Senate Banking Committee marks progress, yet the path forward remains uncertain. &quot;We&#39;re in campaign season now,&quot; Perlmutter warned, underscoring the time constraints.
<h3>Rescheduling And Political Landscape</h3>
During the chat, Perlmutter delved into the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39912859/as-election-buzz-swirls-around-biden-and-harris-dea-comment-period-ends-whats-next-">intricate process of cannabis rescheduling</a> initiated by President Joe Biden. The administrative procedure, bound by the Administrative Procedures Act, involves specific steps and timelines for public comment and hearings.
Perlmutter expressed optimism about Vice President Kamala Harris potentially taking the helm. Her prior sponsorship of the SAFE Banking Bill signals a strong understanding and support for cannabis reforms.
However, the upcoming elections introduce uncertainty. Perlmutter outlined a scenario where the current administration&#39;s initiatives might face challenges depending on the election outcomes.
He also highlighted the role of key players in Congress, such as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer&nbsp;whose&nbsp;efforts to integrate cannabis reforms into broader legislative packages, such as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) or a financial services bill&nbsp;could be pivotal. &quot;If he just brought it to the floor, it would pass,&quot; Perlmutter said, reflecting on the strategic legislative maneuvers necessary to secure passage.
Perlmutter discussed the potential impact of a GOP victory, suggesting it could stall or reverse progress on cannabis reforms. He noted that if Republicans take the White House, there could be a shift in priorities away from cannabis legislation.

<h3>The Road Ahead</h3>
Perlmutter remains optimistic about cannabis banking reform, possibly
through a larger financial services bill incorporating cryptocurrency regulations. &quot;There is a lot of discussion...where [banking reform]&nbsp;would be added to a financial services piece of legislation,&quot; he said.
Although cannabis rescheduling is in motion under the Administrative Procedures Act, the primary focus for Democrats would be winning the elections. He indicated that VP&nbsp;Harris and her potential running mate would prioritize election efforts, pointing out&nbsp;that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39920347/dallas-cannabis-reform-ballot-is-a-go-decriminalization-in-november-elections-would-allow-up-to-"> cannabis policy</a> is a crucial issue for many voters, enhancing its role in any forthcoming campaign strategy.
The methodical approach taken by the Biden administration ponders the question of whether rescheduling can happen in time or not. Perlmutter acknowledged the complexity of the situation.&nbsp;&quot;From the White House&#39;s point of view and the HHS, they&#39;ve done what they could do.&quot; He explained that the next phases are dictated by the Administrative Procedures Act, which requires specific timeframes for comments and hearings.
<h3>What If?</h3>
Perlmutter suggested a nuanced approach to cannabis policy even under <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39964922/ron-desantis-says-florida-supreme-court-should-not-have-allowed-cannabis-legalization-initiative">conservative leadership</a>. Discussing the hypothetical scenario of a Trump presidency, Perlmutter pointed out that despite Jeff Sessions rescinding the Cole Memo, the FinCEN guidance remained intact. &quot;The president could have said to Secretary Mnuchin, let&#39;s get rid of the FinCEN guidance. And he didn&#39;t.&quot;&nbsp;
Regarding the future, Perlmutter expressed cautious optimism.&nbsp;&quot;The clock is ticking, no question about it. But at least it&#39;s ticking.&quot; He highlighted that despite the lengthy process, the momentum towards rescheduling is significant and unprecedented in over five decades.

Interview

'The Clock Is Ticking' For Cannabis Rescheduling, Says Former Congressman Ed Perlmutter

Vice President Kamala Harris is making headlines as she prepares to become the Democratic nominee for president in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 election</a> after President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39874209/joe-biden-drops-out-what-would-happen-with-cannabis-legalization-under-kamala-harris-or-donald-t">opted not to seek reelection.</a>
If Harris secures the Democratic nomination and wins the presidency, she would make history as the first major party presidential nominee to fully support marijuana legalization.

Harris even admitted to having smoked marijuana in college. In a 2019 interview on the popular morning radio show, The Breakfast Club, Harris candidly discussed her personal experience with cannabis.
When asked by host Charlamagne tha God if she had ever smoked marijuana, Harris responded with a laugh: &#8220;I have. And I inhaled. I did inhale,&#8221; she said, taking a lighthearted jab at former President Bill Clinton's claim that he smoked but didn't inhale. 
&#8220;It was a long time ago but yes,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I just broke news.&#8221;
In that prominent interview, Harris also disputed reports that she doesn&#8217;t support legalizing marijuana: &#8220;That&#8217;s not true. I think that it gives a lot of people joy and we need more joy.&#8221;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Strong Supporter Of Marijuana Legalization</h3>
Harris has consistently advocated for cannabis legalization throughout her political career, with her stance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39890659/kamala-harris-u-turn-on-cannabis-heres-where-she-stands-on-weed-legalization-now">evolving significantly over time.</a> Initially, as the District Attorney of San Francisco, she opposed California&#8217;s Proposition 19 in 2010, which sought to legalize marijuana.
However, her position began to shift during her tenure as a U.S. Senator and Vice President.
Key moments of her advocacy include:
<ul>
<li>2015: Harris called for an end to the federal ban on medical marijuana during the Democratic State Convention.</li>
<li>2018: She co-sponsored the Marijuana Justice Act, aimed at legalizing marijuana at the federal level and addressing racial disparities in cannabis-related arrests.</li>
<li>2019: During an interview, she publicly supported cannabis legalization and shared her own experiences with marijuana.</li>
<li>2020: Harris's presidential campaign emphasized her commitment to cannabis reform, including the expungement of nonviolent marijuana-related offenses.</li>
<li>2024: As recently as March, she reiterated her call for legalization during discussions with marijuana pardon recipients, framing it as a critical issue of criminal justice reform.</li>
</ul>
In addition to her public support for the Marijuana Justice Act, Harris has advocated for broader marijuana reform in her book, &#8220;The Truths We Hold: An American Journey.&#8221; She has called for the legalization of marijuana and the expungement of past marijuana-related offenses from individuals' records.

Kamala Harris Admits 'I Inhaled' Marijuana And Now Pushes For Legalization: What This Means For 2024 Elections

IAC chairman Barry Diller&nbsp;on Friday praised Vice President Kamala Harris while recounting what happened after President Joe Biden last week <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39885549/biden-withdraws-from-2024-race-what-that-means-for-solana-etf-prospects">decided to exit</a> the 2024 presidential race.
What Happened: While appearing on CNBC, Diller said he was impressed by Harris&#8217;s quick mobilization of her team following Biden&#8217;s decision not to run for re-election.
&#8220;Within&nbsp;a millisecond of Biden telling&nbsp;her I&#8217;m not going, she&nbsp;mobilized her forces and within&nbsp;12 hours, she shut everyone&nbsp;else down,&#8221; he said.

The media mogul said he initially hoped for an open convention, where multiple candidates, including Harris, would compete, creating a vibrant democratic process. 
However, he recognized Harris&#8217;s confidence and organizational skills in securing endorsements and eliminating competition.
&#8220;It was her. She organized the endorsements leading with the Clintons and everybody else,&#8221; Diller added.

'Don't Discount Kamala Harris Yet,' Says IAC Chairman Barry Diller, Recounting How 'She Mobilized Her Forces And… Shut Everyone Else Down' Within Hours Of Biden Stepping Down

Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci weighed in on the possible impact on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) prices if former President Donald Trump wins his second term in the upcoming elections, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39994378/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-zoom-higher-as-bitcoin-conference-awaits-donald-trumps-keynote-s">ahead of the Bitcoin 2024 conference</a>.
What Happened: Scaramucci, a known proponent of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as an asset class, highlighted how a second Trump presidency could influence prices of the apex crypto, in an interview with CNBC.
"I applaud President Trump for that."
He also went into detail about the stance of the Democratic party and how Trump&#8217;s outreach to cryptocurrency proponents has taken his rivals by surprise.
"I think President Trump's move to court Bitcoin and towards crypto assets has shaken the Democrats at core."

"Very smart, younger Democrats are recognizing that they're way off base with their positions, they're way off with these SEC lawsuits and regulation by enforcement," he added.
The former White House official also underscored his belief that Trump would be "very well welcomed" at the Bitcoin 2024 conference, where the former president is scheduled to deliver the keynote address.

Anthony Scaramucci, Tim Scott Weigh In Ahead Of Ex-President's Address At Bitcoin 2024 Conference: 'Trump's Move To Court Bitcoin And Towards Crypto Assets Has Shaken The Democrats At Core'

French billionaire Bernard Arnault recalled the time when he and Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, discussed the idea of a Louis Vuitton-branded rocket.
What Happened: While appearing on CNBC&#8217;s Squawk Box, Arnault spoke about his discussions with Musk. &#8220;I admire very much what he's doing because I think he's a genius. To do such a success with a car company was quite unexpected. But he's a genius,&#8221; he said.
The French luxury mogul went on to reveal that the last time the two billionaires talked about an idea involving a rocket. &#8220;Maybe we have a way to put Vuitton in a rocket. I don't know if we go somewhere.&#8221;

Arnault then humorously voiced his apprehension, saying, &#8220;I'm afraid he will ask me to go with him in the rocket.&#8221; When asked if he would go on the rocket, Arnault said &#8220;I'm not sure.&#8221;

Elon Musk, Bernard Arnault Once Discussed Potential SpaceX-Louis Vuitton Collab: 'I'm Afraid He Will Ask Me To Go With Him In The Rocket'

French luxury mogul Bernard Arnault on Friday disclosed that the late Steve Jobs had once sought his counsel on the retail strategy for Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), despite skepticism from industry rivals.
What Happened: While appearing on CNBC, Arnault reminisced about a conversation with Jobs when Apple was considering the launch of its first retail store. The late Apple co-founder intrigued by Arnault&#8217;s success with the luxury brand Vuitton, sought his views on the venture.
Arnault said that he suggested Jobs inaugurate the first Apple store at a prime location, hinting at emulating Vuitton&#8217;s strategy. The first Apple store was launched in Tokyo, directly across a Vuitton outlet on Ginza, and it turned out to be a massive success.

Analyst Says Jensen Huang-Led Chip Giant&#8217;s Competitor Is &#8216;Catchin</a>
Arnault said that Michael Dell, the founder of Dell Technologies, had expressed reservations about Apple&#8217;s direct retail strategy. &#8220;It proved to be a fantastic success. When, at the time, many of his competitors, I remember Dell, for instance, saying it would never work, these direct shops,&#8221; he stated.
During their interaction, Jobs also acknowledged the durability of Arnault&#8217;s products, contrasting it with the unpredictability of the tech industry&#8217;s success over time.
&#8220;He was very smart, obviously, and very creative also. But he told me, &#8216;You know, I like your products. And you have an advantage on me.&#8217; I said, &#8216;Well, which one?&#8217; &#8216;I don't know if my iPod will still be successful in 10 years. But what I know is your Dom Perignon will be sold in a century,'&#8221; Arnault said.

Why It Matters: Bernard Arnault&#8217;s advice to Steve Jobs came from his extensive experience in the luxury retail sector. His success with Vuitton is a testament to his understanding of the retail landscape.
The French luxury mogul currently has a net worth of $188 billion, making him the third wealthiest individual in the world, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a>. However, Arnault&#8217;s fortune has seen a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/07/39920045/arnaults-fortune-falls-as-lvmh-misses-on-earnings-zuckerberg-now-eyes-third-spot-on-billionaires-l">significant drop recently</a>. 
Earlier this week, it was reported that nearly half of Arnault's wealth is tied to his stake in LVMH-Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, which saw a nearly 5% decline in over-the-counter shares after earnings fell short of expectations.

Steve Jobs Once Consulted Bernard Arnault When Apple Was Opening Its First Retail Store: French Luxury Tycoon Says 'It Proved To Be A Fantastic Success. When At The Time Many Of His Competitors…Saying It Would Never Work.'

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent U.S. presidential candidate, raised questions about the recent pro-cryptocurrency stance of GOP nominee Donald Trump. This comes as both candidates vie for the support of crypto-holders at the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39470346/trump-reportedly-discussing-participation-in-bitcoin-2024-conference-move-to-reinforce-cry">2024 conference.</a>
What Happened: Kennedy, who is currently favored by 8% of voters, expressed skepticism about Trump&#8217;s newfound support for cryptocurrency. He made these remarks at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Tennessee, where Trump is scheduled to speak on Saturday, Reuters reported.
In his conference speech, Kennedy took a jab at Trump, saying, &#8220;President Trump has orange hair&#8230; But I have an orange heart,&#8221; referring to the color of the Bitcoin logo. He expressed hope that Trump&#8217;s commitment to bitcoin is more than just political convenience.
&#8220;I hope President Trump&#8217;s commitment to Bitcoin is more than political expediency.&#8221;
Despite his low polling numbers, Kennedy&#8217;s candidacy could have a significant impact on the election if he draws voters away from Trump or the likely Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris. However, Kennedy has yet to qualify for the ballot in many states.

Kennedy also pledged that, if elected, he would instruct the U.S. Treasury to acquire enough Bitcoin to build a reserve similar to U.S. gold reserves, and would make direct ownership of Bitcoin tax-free.
Conference attendees are eagerly anticipating Trump&#8217;s speech on Saturday. &#8220;Make Bitcoin Great Again&#8221; red hats, a play on Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Make America Great Again&#8221; slogan, are being sold at the conference.
Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s recent endorsement of cryptocurrency, despite previously calling it a &#8220;scam&#8221; in 2021, has been seen as a strategic move to gain support from the crypto community. The Republican Party has been actively courting crypto holders by promising lighter regulations.
Economist Peter Schiff has suggested that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39975390/trumps-bitcoin-support-a-political-no-brainer-to-garner-votes-says-peter-schiff-promise-to">Trump&#8217;s support for Bitcoin</a> is a political move to gain votes, not a genuine commitment to make it a reserve asset. Schiff also warned that by pursuing cryptocurrency-supporting voters, Trump risks alienating supporters who do not trust the asset&#8217;s potential.
On the other hand, analysts from research and brokerage firm Bernstein have suggested that a potential Trump victory in the 2024 elections could significantly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39897980/potential-trump-victory-could-stir-bitcoin-market-bernstein-analysts-predict-implications-">shake up the cryptocurrency market. </a>The Bernstein team posits that the market has not accounted for a potential positive shift in cryptocurrency regulations if Trump is reelected in November.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Questions Trump's Pro-Crypto Stance As 2024 Presidential Race Heats Up: 'I Hope...Commitment To Bitcoin Is More Than Political Expediency'

A gathering meant to rally support for Vice President&nbsp;Kamala Harris&#8216; presidential campaign morphed into an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39919247/who-will-kamala-harris-pick-for-vice-president-crypto-bettors-have-4-favorites-for-democra">endorsement event for</a> Pennsylvania Governor&nbsp;Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.).
What Happened: The event on Friday, which saw Democratic leaders and labor unions come together to express their support for Harris, unexpectedly shifted its focus to Shapiro. 
Several speakers, including influential union leaders,&nbsp;the chair of the Philadelphia&nbsp;Democratic Party,&nbsp;and Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, endorsed Shapiro as a potential vice presidential candidate, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/26/philly-unions-democrats-shapiro-00171491">reported</a>&nbsp;Politico.

&#8220;If they take our advice, Josh Shapiro will be our vice president,&#8221; Parker stated, highlighting Shapiro&#8217;s capability to secure a win in Pennsylvania.
Despite the public endorsements, Shapiro has not openly expressed interest in the VP position, stating that the decision lies with Harris. 
However, his allies, including Ryan Boyer,&nbsp;the leader of Philadelphia's powerful&nbsp;building trades council, have been vocal about Shapiro&#8217;s suitability for the White House. &#8220;He would look good on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Shapiro, who is reportedly&nbsp;being vetted by the Covington&nbsp;&amp; Burling law firm for the VP role, has been actively increasing his public presence.
He is scheduled&nbsp;to lead a Harris volunteer&nbsp;kick-off in central Pennsylvania on Saturday and will return to Philadelphia&nbsp;on Monday for an event&nbsp;with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
According to Democratic mega-donors, Shapiro, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), and Roy Cooper (D-N.C.) are leading the race to become <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39924772/democratic-mega-donors-predict-kamala-harris-to-pick-vp-among-these-3-lawmakers-as-presidential-race">Harris's running mate</a>.
Harris is preparing for a potential face-off against former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. The choice of a running mate could significantly influence the election outcome. 
There are also speculations that Trump could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39979544/can-trump-replace-jd-vance-amid-kamala-harris-picking-pace-experts-warn-that-could-be-extraordinaril">replace his current running mate</a>, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), due to his underwhelming polling.

Josh Shapiro Emerges As Potential VP Candidate At Kamala Harris Endorsement Event: 'He Would Look Good...'

Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci humorously thanked Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39780777/trump-picks-senator-j-d-vance-as-running-mate-musk-says-great-choice-for-vp">running mate</a>, JD Vance (R-Ohio), for taking his place as the worst hire of the former president.
What Happened: Scaramucci expressed his gratitude to Vance for ousting him from the position of the worst Trump hire, in a post on Friday on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
&#8220;I just want to personally thank JD Vance for knocking me out of the position of the worst Donald Trump hire. I didn't think it would happen but here we are and I am grateful.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Scaramucci has been vocal about his disapproval of Vance as Trump&#8217;s running mate. He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39854646/anthony-scaramucci-says-jd-vances-quest-to-wall-us-off-from-rest-of-world-could-be-an-economic-disas">previously stated</a> that Vance&#8217;s economic policies could lead to a disaster for the United States and the world.

Vance reportedly wrote on November 1, 2020: "As a parent of young children and a nationalist who worries about America's low fertility I can say with confidence that daylight savings time reduces fertility by at least 10 percent."
Vance later said this post was a joke.
