There’s a chance that Sanders might decide to support UBI, and a larger chance that he’d take steps that move in that general direction, but there’s no chance that Yang will run for President, at least this cycle, and no indications that he’ll even start making moves in the direction of running for President.

The guy who is a crackpot for running for President is not making any moves in the direction of running for President 11 days later?

For anyone else, Andrew Yang has announced his candidacy for President in the 2020 race and is halfway to qualifying for the national Democratic debates.
