CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang says he can beat Joe Biden in an interview set to air Thursday on “CBS This Morning.”

“I think I’ll be the nominee,” the entrepreneur tells host Anthony Mason in a preview released by CBS Wednesday.

“If you listen to Joe talk about it, his main argument is that his election is going to be a restoration of the Obama-Biden administration, in essence. Which is a move, literally, backwards in time,” Yang says. "So to me, saying that we can somehow erase not just Donald Trump’s presidency, but all of the reasons why people voted for Donald Trump, to me is not correct.

“We’re going to have to solve the problems that got Donald Trump elected,” he says.

Yang also points out that he is one of two Democrats with double-digit support from Trump voters. Bernie Sanders is the other, according to a Economist/YouGov poll.

“It’s because I’m focused on solving the problems that they see around them every day. And I’m laser-focused on trying to make their lives better. That’s why I’m getting thousands of Trump voters as well as independents and Libertarians and Democrats and progressives. If I’m the Democratic nominee, we win. That’s the math,” he says.

The interview is a win for Yang’s supporters -- dubbed the Yang Gang -- who’ve complained about the lack of media coverage his campaign has received. Though he has appeared on the network Sunday talk shows, #YangMediaBlackout became a trending topic on Twitter last week after supporters noticed that, despite polling between 2 to 4 percent, good for sixth place, he was snubbed twice by CNN in graphics of the top contenders. One of the graphics even included former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who Yang is ahead of in the polls.

Indeed, an analysis by Axios showed that even though Yang’s polling average is sixth in the field -- higher than Sen. Cory Booker -- and his Twitter mentions during the debates are higher than those of the former vice president and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, the number of articles written about him and his mentions on cable news are near the bottom.

Still, Yang, whose campaign revolves around the idea of giving every American adult $1,000 a month, remains upbeat about his chances.

“You’ll see me leading in the polls before too long," he tells Mason.
