Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has now joined the group advocating for a alliance between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump for the 2024 US presidential election.
He stated that deep, somewhat uncomfortable truths were being spoken about the current state of American democracy and who really holds the power in big business. He then gave a standing ovation for RFK Jr.’s new speech.
RFK Jr. dropped his independent campaign to support Trump, in a move analysts say will be absolutely crucial to the race. As RFK Jr.’s parallel fly-around tour continues under his name in states where Trump is expected to win, the candidates will storm the battleground states together.
Hoskinson’s vision and sponsorship power
In that tweet, he expressed hope that a Trump-led administration, with RFK Jr. in a key role, would mean the administration would take responsibility for its adherence to a pro-crypto stance.
RFK had a great speech, full of deep, uncomfortable truths about our media, corporate control of America, and how incredibly undemocratic the Democratic Party has become.

Hoskinson still feels that while the American government needs a more thorough overhaul, including a constitutional convention, the Trump-RFK Jr. alliance can save American democracy from a rapid demise.
RFK Jr.’s pro-cryptocurrency policies, as expressed in the speech at the Bitcoin Conference 2024, were quite obvious. So even with different political views, Peter Schiff, a renowned economist, found in RFK Jr. an intellectual man who was concerned about the nation.
Pro-Crypto voters
Hoskinson, who is influential in the crypto space, will bring on board some voters who are more concerned about policies regarding cryptocurrency. One of the thoughtful moves that will increase Trump’s chances of winning the election is RFK Jr.’s decision to halt his campaign to support him in the swing states.

Whether RFK Jr. gets completely buried in the crypto big tent or whether the spirit of this relationship is apparent to the general public will be interesting to see. Whether it will be pragmatically justified in favor of pro-crypto legislation or leave people feeling like RFK Jr. has abandoned values of freedom.
Hoskinson’s endorsement of the RFK Jr.-Trump coalition has given the 2024 U.S. presidential election a whole new spin. Not to mention the larger national trend, well, only time will tell how this all plays out in terms of crypto policy.
