The 2020 Candidates: Andrew Yang

The Washington Post Live welcomed businessman and Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang on Oct. 21 to discuss his upstart presidential campaign that began as a long shot but now has everyone in politics paying close attention. Yang explained his controversial “freedom dividend” plan, which would give $1,000 a month to every American adult over 18 years of age. He’ll also talked about his support for ‘Medicare for All’ and his strategy for winning the Democratic nomination.
