 <p class="is-style-lead">Bitcoin (BTC) <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="supporter" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/supporter.html">supporter</a> Vivek Ramaswamy has officially dropped out of the race for the U.S. presidency.</p>
 <p>In a post on Jan. 16, Vivek Ramaswamy publicly endorsed Donald Trump’s candidacy, noting in his departure that the United States needs a patriot focused on America.</p>

    <p lang="en" dir="ltr">This entire campaign is about speaking the TRUTH. We did not achieve our goal tonight &amp; we need an America-First patriot in the White House. The people spoke loud &amp; clear about who they want. Tonight I am suspending my campaign and endorsing Donald J. Trump and will do everything…</p>— Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) January 16, 2024

 <p>Ramaswamy withdrew his candidacy after Trump&nbsp;won the Iowa GOP primary. The former U.S. President received 51% of the vote, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis – 21%, and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley – 19%.</p>

 <p>Ramaswamy has repeatedly stated that he is the only candidate who genuinely understands the blockchain. The politician opposed the integration of a central bank digital currency (CBDC), promised to reduce taxes on mining, and criticized the actions of the head of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Gary Gensler.</p>
 <p>Besides Ramaswamy, in August 2023, cryptocurrency proponent and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez&nbsp;withdrew&nbsp;his candidacy for the 2024 election after failing to make it past the GOP debate stage. As mayor of Miami, Suarez made high-profile decisions. For example, he will receive part of his salary in Bitcoin and <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="support" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/support.html">support</a> the MiamiCoin (MIA) token project. Along with Democratic candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Suarez was among the few 2024 U.S. <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="president" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/president.html">president</a>ial candidates <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="support" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/support.html">support</a>ing cryptocurrencies.</p>
 <p>Among the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="president" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/president.html">president</a>ial candidates, only Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="support" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/support.html">support</a>s cryptocurrencies. If he wins, he promises to ensure the integrity of the rights to use and own Bitcoin.</p>
