He has four decades of campaign experience, ranging from a short stint running Gerald Fordrsquo election bid in 1976 to two successful races on the presidential ticket.

Andrew Yang, an entrepreneur and Democratic presidential candidate in 2020, has made implementing a universal basic income his central campaign plank. On this week s episode of The Takeout, Yang spoke with CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett to discuss the plan and how he is reaching a wide audience through social media.Universal basic income would give every citizen a certain amount of money or resources to meet basic needs. Yang said tha stanley cups t this would be a more practical solution to impending job losses in industries such as coal mining or truck driving than training the newly-unemployed to work in the growing tech sector.
