 <p>The Miami Mayor’s <a rel="dofollow" title="president" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/president.html">president</a>ial campaign ends two months after it started.

 <p>However, the mayor failed to meet polling requirements by the Republican National Committee for the first primary debate. The former <a rel="dofollow" title="president" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/president.html">president</a>ial candidate indicated he would drop out of the race if he failed to make the first GOP primary debate in Milwaukee.</p> 
 <p>Suarez, a long-time Bitcoin <a rel="dofollow" title="advocate" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/advocate.html">advocate</a>, revealed recently that he would accept part of his salary in BTC if elected America’s President. The politician also receives his mayoral paycheck in Bitcoin.</p> 
 <p>Other Bitcoin proponents still in the US Presidential include Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has criticized President Joe Biden’s proposed crypto tax policy, and Florida governor DeSantis, who vowed to end the current administration’s war against Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.&nbsp;</p>
