Who Replaces CLARITY Champion Cynthia Lummis: Trump Backs Hageman

Wyoming voters are deciding today who will succeed Sen. Cynthia Lummis, the Senate's most prominent bitcoin advocate, with President Donald Trump endorsing Rep. Harriet Hageman as his pick on the eve of the midterm elections. Hageman, who already holds a House seat, is favored to win the race and inherit Lummis's role as a leading crypto voice in the Senate. Lummis championed digital asset legislation in Washington, including efforts around the CLARITY Act, which aims to establish a regulatory framework for digital assets. Her departure could shift the balance of crypto advocacy in the upper chamber, where she co-founded the Congressional Satoshi Action Fund and pushed for bitcoin reserve policies. A Hageman victory would likely preserve Wyoming's pro-crypto Senate representation, given the state's history as a digital asset-friendly jurisdiction. Investors and industry watchers should monitor the election results and any early signals on whether Hageman maintains Lummis's legislative priorities on digital asset market structure and bitcoin policy.
