Who is Andrew Yang?
He’s a lawyer-turned-tech dude who most recently launched the nonprofit Venture for America, which seeks to revitalize Rust Belt cities by encouraging entrepreneurs to move there and start businesses.
When Yang first launched his 2020 presidential bid in late 2017, no one took him seriously. But today, some polls and pundits are giving him better odds than candidates like senator Amy Klobuchar and congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.
He believes that one way to help soften the impact of automation is through a universal basic income, which he has made a central part of his campaign. Mr. Yang has promised to give Americans $12,000 a year.
