Through the use of holograms, 2020 presidential contender Andrew Yang hopes he can be in two places at once while campaigning for the Democratic nomination.

Yang, 44, told TMZ that he was testing out the technology so that he could more easily campaign in the early battleground states of Iowa and New Hampshire. He demonstrated the use of the technology by dancing, holographically, with acclaimed rapper Tupac Shakur, who was gunned down in 1996.

“Well, if you look closely at that footage, you'll see it's actually not me performing with hologram Tupac. That's a hologram of me," Yang explained. "I was doing a demo of what a hologram would consist of in order to send the hologram me to campaign in Iowa and other battleground states so I could be in two places or three places at once.”

Yang is a tech entrepreneur from New York who has managed to garner a cult following of supporters. His meme-powered fans use the moniker “ Yang Gang” to refer to themselves and thrive online on sites like Reddit and 4Chan.

Yang is known for his " outside the mainstream" campaign ideas, including cutting down on the amount of circumcision in the United States, making Tax Day a national holiday, and creating a domestic infrastructure force called the Legion of Builders and Destroyers.

Despite being a minor candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination — he is polling at 0.8% in a national average of polls by RealClearPolitics — the Yang Gang has managed to bring in nearly $2 million in campaign donations from over 80,000 donors in the first quarter, enough for him to qualify for the first Democratic presidential debate.
