<p>“States leading the way. This is why Bitcoiners should be American patriots”, Lummis stated in a June 24 X post. “You can fight for your rights and WIN”.</p>
<p>Lummis’ support of the Blockchain Basics Act comes amid a growing spotlight on politicians’ stance on cryptocurrencies in the lead-up to the U.S. Presidential Election in November 2024.</p>
<p>Republican frontrunner Donald Trump has previously spoken out against <a href="https://btc-pulse.com/indias-cbdc-activity-declines-sharply/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CBDCs</a>, calling them “very dangerous.”</p>
<p>“As your president, I will never allow the creation of a central bank digital currency”, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/01/18/trump-vows-to-block-any-fed-effort-to-launch-digital-currency-00136328" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the presumptive Republican nominee said at a rally this past January. Meanwhile, current U.S. </a>President Joe Biden has largely taken a pro-regulatory stance towards digital assets and has toyed with the idea of establishing a CBDC.</p>
<p>Despite the two political rivals being virtually tied in official polls, <a href="https://elections2024.thehill.com/louisiana/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">recent data shows Louisiana has an estimated</a> 57% disapproval rating of Biden. Meanwhile, the latest Louisiana polling displayed by political election site 538 shows Trump leading Biden by 15%.</p>
<p>If Trump gets elected, it may signal more Bitcoin-friendly policies at the national level.</p>
