The crypto-mogul Winklevoss twins are emerging as a powerful new force in GOP fundraising, Axios reports. Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, both 44, have already poured more than $32 million into Republican causes this year, according to a person familiar with the totals. That includes $21 million to the newly launched Digital Freedom Fund, a super PAC aiming to boost pro-Trump and pro-crypto candidates in next year’s midterms. “I think it’s really important for the Republican Party to maintain control of Congress, if we are going to usher in and realize President Trump’s vision to make America the crypto capital of the world,” Tyler Winklevoss told Axios. The twins’ money could help target Democrats like Sen. Sherrod Brown, a crypto skeptic seeking a return to the Senate, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who has pushed for more regulation. Tyler Winklevoss said such Democrats have “galvanized millions of crypto holders to vote against Democrats and for President Trump.” “Who are the donors going to be for the next 20 to 30 years? I put them firmly in that group,” said Republican contributor Omeed Malik. “This alliance of MAGA and tech—that’s the future, and [the Winklevosses are] very much a part of that.”
