A Conversation With Andrew Yang

from Now What? With Carole Zimmer

In 2019, At the age of 45, Andrew Yang decided to enter the race for President of the United States. He'd never run for any elective office before. Yang hoped his signature proposal of giving every American adult a universal basic income of $1,000 a month would help get him into the White House. Though he wound up with a dedicated group of tech-savvy followers known as the Yang gang, the candidate dropped out after losing the New Hampshire primary. Then in 2022 Yang announced he was joining the race for New York City Mayor. He was the front runner until his campaign lost ground and he wound up losing to Eric Adams. Now, he's written the memoir Hey Yang, Where's My Thousand Bucks? "Now What?" is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Jackie Schwartz. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.
