Andrew Yang plans to announce he is suspending his presidential campaign during a speech Tuesday night in New Hampshire, two sources tell CNN. It's the end to an upstart run that vaulted the businessman from obscurity to a Democratic contender backed by a devoted following known as the Yang Gang. Yang's decision will come a week after a disappointing finish in Iowa, where the campaign invested millions and spent two weeks on a bus tour leading up to the caucuses. The investment didn't pan out: Yang finished with just 1% support in Iowa and, after leaving the state with depleted resources, had to lay off staff as he looked to trim his campaign's costs.
"With a crystal ball, we might not have invested as much energy in Iowa, because I think that that lack of clarity afterwards hurt every candidate," Yang told CNN the day before the New Hampshire primary."But we're excited about being here in New Hampshire."
At least he can keep playing in NFL now
Who lol
Wow, it's like the end of the football season where all the coaches get fired. They always show up again.
I have no idea who this guy is and had no idea he was even running. Is this the Mickey Mouse that Quid Pro Joe was talking about?
Who?
White guy. Not older than dirt. Not allowed to run as a dem.
Support Bernie BernieWonIowa
Who
Another ill thought and ill planned bid MichaelBennet
Who now?
Who?
Who?
Who?!
Who?
Oh, the loss. What ever will America do without another yutz.
follow the um, other rather serious matter at hand, won't you? attackontheruleoflaw democracyinthebalance BarrCoverUp
Who? Like actually who?
Who?
I didn't even know this guy was in the running. Exactly how many Democrats were in the race to begin with?
It os unfortunate that he is running when there are so many candidates. He is a really good candidate, but not very well known.
Is anyone left
Who?
Who
Who ?
Who’s that ?
Who
😞 He was the best choice. I feel the media really fkd this up for Dems by not giving this man more coverage. Isn't Trump's every move enough drama for ratings? Sad to see this man drop out
Who?
I can't help thinking that the fact both CNN and the NYT spelled his name wrong when he dropped out is a clue to the level of his profile.
Stop
Who
Maybe he didn’t promise a large enough monthly income for everyone. $1,000 just didn’t cut it.
Bernie supporter here. Respect for wanting to create social safety nets that allows us to live and explore. Too many people praise corporatacry too much given how much time in the office is spent working on the absolute most worthless things. Please stay in the fight.
Never had a legitimate chance but even as a right supporter, I hope he finds his way into some level of political influence in Washington sooner than later.
even if he stops going for it, his influence is still positive
Guess I won’t be gettin that $1,000
You Ok GibranJitsu? Mentally, I had begun to spend my 1k.
Honey, cancel that trip
Who?
Finally. Good guy but come on.
His staffers weren't replaced by AI
This is depressing.
the biggest loss for democrats by now is still Kamala Harris.
So I’m out a grand a month?
Andrew, just promise people more and more free money that they didn’t work for and don’t deserve. Impossible to go tits up.
Man i really was looking forward to my 1k
Now he gets press?!?!?
😂😂😂 another one bites the dust
Shouldn’t have used his brain, disqualified him from the party.
And this is the most coverage the media has given him the whole race.
Well dang Yang, there goes my $1000 a month! Trump 2020!
Out of Yang Bucks... 🤦♂️
Boooo!
Darn!!!! I was going to retire early with that $1K a month!! 😢😢
Yep. Now Bernie can keep telling us how “his” brand of socialism will work, even though no one else’s has, and Elizabeth can keep trying to convince us that she really believes the BS super-woke, SJW crap she keeps spewing.
As though the DNC gave Yang an actual look. AndrewYang was your best bet and your last minority candidate. DNCRigging Election2020
Wow I thought he had at least 8 or 9 people ready to vote for him.
About time
Dammit , to smart and has good ideas to be President I guess ...
I’m still counting on that G.
Great guy but what chance did he stand?
Too bad for DNC, AndrewYang was the only candidate that had crossover appeal. Guess it’s Trump2020 close to Reagan 84 margins
Noooooooooo
Dad Burnit!
He did the math and realized $1,000 per month would not work?
