Just talked to @AndrewYang about this tweet. He'll be "involved in the convention video package," but said the lack of a higher-profile speech "makes my job harder to appeal to the 42% of my supporters who said they weren’t going to vote for Joe." https://twitter.com/AndrewYang/status/1293211531551952897
As anyone who covered the campaign can attest, Yang, who'd never run for office for before and touted an idea (UBI) that's caught on, had a ton of Trump voters or previous non-voters showing up for him.
Yang on the Dem platform not endorsing UBI: "There’s the people, and there’s the Democratic platform. And the platform is something of a lagging indicator.”
