The businessman and former lawyer said he would "100%" support whoever the nominee is.
WASHINGTON — 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang said Monday that he won’t be running as an independent or third-party candidate should he fail to become the nominee for his party.
“I genuinely believe I’m the strongest candidate to defeat Trump in the general election,” he continued. “But if I’m not the nominee, I would 100% support whoever the nominee is.” The 44-year-old entrepreneur has succeeded in building a strong following, as evidenced by the $10 million his campaign raised in the third quarter.
“The fact is, a lot of the solutions politicians have been offering will not improve people’s lives nearly as much as $1,000 a month, because if you get $1,000 a month, you can do any of a range of things with it,” Yang told the audience, adding that Americans will be able to opt in to the plan. “But you know how to solve your own problems the best.”
