[Midterm Elections: Several Pro-Crypto Representatives Lose Seats, $64 Million from Crypto Industry Fails to Prevent Brown's Return] Journalist Eleanor Terrett posted on the X platform that the US midterm elections were a "tough night" for both the Republican Party and the crypto industry. Over $64 million in funding from the crypto industry failed to prevent Sherrod Brown from returning to the Senate, where he may secure a leadership position on a committee with jurisdiction over the crypto sector. Pro-crypto Republican Representatives Bryan Steil, Zach Nunn, and Ann Wagner lost their seats, and Mike Lawler conceded defeat (the Associated Press has not yet announced the results for New York's 17th congressional district).
