Andrew Yang choked up as he reflected on the trajectory of his presidential campaign during a speech in Iowa. 'Campaigning here for the last two years has been the journey of my life. I am really glad you are going to determine the future of our country.'
"I've been coming to Iowa for almost two years," said Yang, who entered the presidential race to no fanfare but has since gained a loyal following. "I love Iowa," he said."Campaigning here for the last two years has been the journey of my life. I am really glad you are going to determine the future of our country."The comment caused Yang to visibly get emotional and cover his face.
And when the businessman told his family he was running for president, he told CNN, some members said,"President of what?"But by championing a series of unique policy positions -- like a universal basic income, wide-reaching programs to address automation, and the legalization of marijuana -- Yang slowly created a devout following of liberal Democrats, libertarians and some disaffected Republicans.
