Well at this point it's quite undeniable that crypto is at least somewhat on the radar of these politicians. Even if it's just Elizabeth Warren being paid to oppose it at every turn no matter what. Or Trump saying he's going to pardon Ross. Or whoever saying they support Bitcoin.

I also didn't make the claim that an issue like this could actually sway an election (yet). People care about issues when those issue affect them, because people are selfish and predictable. By definition the closer we get to mainstream adoption the more these issues will matter to voters.
