Breaking: Yang Drops Out of Presidential Race

Tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang dropped out of the Democratic presidential race on Tuesday as results continued to roll in from the New Hampshire primary election.

"I am a numbers guy," Yang said before addressing supporters in New Hampshire. "In most of these states, I'm not going to be at a threshold where I get delegates, which makes sticking around not necessarily helpful or productive in terms of furthering the goals of this campaign."

Yang focused his campaign on his proposal of a universal basic income policy, which would give every American adult $1,000 a month. In September, Yang debuted a test launch of the plan, the Freedom Dividend Pilot Program, and gave 13 American families $1,000 month for a year out of Yang's campaign funds.

Yang has indicated that he is not ruling out a second run for president and may run for mayor of New York City as well.
