WASHINGTON – The campaign trail is known for being rough. Candidates travel to dozens of cities for multiple events a day, but 2020 presidential hopeful Andrew Yang is working on a way to make things easier.

Yang, a 44-year-old Democrat, is testing out hologram technology that would allow him to campaign at different places at the same time.

He discussed the plans with TMZ, telling the celebrity tabloid that he hopes to use it while campaigning in Iowa and New Hampshire, the first two states to cast ballots in the primary.

While talking with Yang, TMZ showed footage of Yang testing out the technology. The video showed a hologram of Yang on stage dancing with a hologram of rapper Tupac Shakur, who died 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."

The video shows Tupac rapping without a shirt and Yang, in a blazer and blue jeans, performing alongside him. Both holograms move on stage.

When asked by TMZ, Yang said while he considers Tupac "a hero of mine," the hologram would not be his running mate.

Yang is among more than a dozen Democrats vying for the White House and has been called a long-shot for president. The entrepreneur, who founded the nonprofit fellowship program Venture for America, includes a basic universal income of $1,000 a month in his platform for every American over age 18.

Yang told the Carroll Times Herald that the hologram could debut in his campaign around June and would likely include other people to "make it fun for people."

"We are exploring rolling a truck out that would enable someone to see a hologram of me that is three-dimensional give my stump speech," Yang told the Iowa newspaper. "And, also, if I were in a studio, which we could set up very easily, I could beam in and take questions live."

He explained that while the idea is interesting and different from other candidates, it also highlights a theme in his campaign.

"I thought it would be a fun way to be in multiple places at once, and also very much tied into the message of the campaign around the fact that it is 2019, and soon it will be 2020, and things are changing, and we can’t just keep doing the same things over and over again and expect it to achieve the results we need," Yang said.
