It's certainly nice to see a pro-bitcoin candidate, and perhaps indicative of direction of travel, but really it's of zero relevance to the presidential race. Perhaps (probably) this will change in future elections as crypto moves inexorably into the mainstream, and the money involved snowballs to such an extent that it absolutely has to be addressed. At the moment however crypto is still small in terms of the US economy, and the question "What's your position on bitcoin?" is likely way way down the priority list of most voters. Indeed I would suspect that the way the candidates answer the question "Do you believe there's an all-powerful white-haired old man who lives in the clouds and created us and directs all of our actions?" has much more of a bearing on their popularity with voters.

I saw Andrew in two of the debates, he spoke well but didn't seem to have the natural ability of connecting well with people.
It's the problem I saw in his debates as well. He lacks the charisma most politicians have when it comes to public speaking. While his POV regarding the problems of contemporary United States plus his openness towards new innovation is amazing, if you lack a certain aspect--the feel of the people most especially--on what people are looking for in the next POTUS, you simply won't take the cut.
Bernie is even trying so hard to throw shade at Trump, though that's justified knowing how thick of a knob the current POTUS is. Good thing Yang hasn't done any of that mud-slinging towards anyone, and if he continues that, he's got a long way ahead of him in clean politics.

Andrew Yang, a Pro-Bitcoin US Presidential Candidate, has drop off from the race.
Well its good if we have a Pro-Bitcoin US President, however, with or without him bitcoin will still continue to thrive in the US though. Nothing against him claiming to be one of us, but I guess we can't really see someone in the White House having full support on bitcoin.
