Andrew Yang, the self-described 'Asian man standing next to Joe Biden' in the DemDebate, plans to win
Magarshak described Yang as a"very down-to-earth family man type of guy.
"We will make the most of it," Yang tweeted Wednesday, sharing that he was just 2,000 more donors away from qualifying for the fall debates. While Yang's universal basic income plan has been shrugged off by many as far-fetched, it is arguably only as unorthodox as Sanders' progressive ideas were when the independent senator went from being an underdog to a frontrunner in the 2016 race. Many of Sanders' proposals have since been adopted by the core Democratic Party, and Magarshak sees similar growth potential for Yang.
If elected, Yang, the son of immigrant parents from Taiwan, would be the first Asian-American president. But besides not having name recognition, he has faced criticism from moderates, not to mention conservatives, that his universal basic income proposal could decrease work among the poor and boost dependence on government."The fact is another candidate would be nuts to go after the fifth or sixth candidate on stage," he said.
