"We're in contact. We are doing anything we can to help. Obviously, this is a crisis and we all need to pull together to try to keep the country strong and whole," Yang, now a CNN political commentator, told CNN's Brianna Keilar.Yang said his team on Humanity Forward, which he launched earlier this month, reached out to the White House to offer support.
The Trump administration is pushing a proposal to inject $1 trillion into the economy to deal with the coronavirus crisis. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin on Tuesday appeared to express support for the proposal to provide Americans with $1,000 and indicated it would be raised during his Capitol Hill meetings."I think it's clear we don't need to send people who make a million dollars a year checks. But we like — that's one of the ideas we like.
