Andrew Yang gained national attention while running for president in the 2020 Democratic primary. In his campaign he promised to distribute $1,000 to adults every month to stimulate the economy. He referred to this strategy as the Freedom Dividend, which was a novel idea a year prior to the distribution of COVID-19 stimulus checks.reported that about 10 left-wing protesters gathered at Yang's press conference with signs criticizing his campaign.
Adams' upward climb in the polls may be troublesome for Yang's campaign. The former New York City Sanitation Department commissioner, Kathryn Garcia, also made a significant jump in the polls in May putting her right behind Yang at 15 percent.
