A crypto-backed political powerhouse is flooding Michigan’s Democratic primary with nearly a million dollars to back incumbent Shri Thanedar and crush challenger Donavan McKinney—just two weeks before the August 4 vote. Part of a $191 million war chest, Protect Progress is one of several pro-crypto PACs—including Fairshake and Fellowship—pushing crypto-friendly candidates into Congress. McKinney accuses the lobby of rewarding Thanedar for backing Trump, while Thanedar’s crypto voting record and personal losses in crypto trades add fuel to the fire. The money isn’t stopping at Michigan: Protect Progress also backs Arizona’s Greg Stanton, and a Fairshake affiliate is funding a Republican crypto supporter in Washington state. As primaries and general elections loom, expect crypto’s political influence to grow louder—and more visible—across the country.
