'Mitch is the king of the swamp. Mike is a farmer, educator, former small-town newspaper editor, and a former Marine officer. Who would you vote for?' Yang said in his endorsement of Mike Broihier.
Andrew Yang is wading into the battle for control of the U.S. Senate and his first endorsement of the 2020 election cycle is a surprising one—even for the recipient himself.
On the surface, Yang and Broihier may not appear to be likely allies. One is a former tech executive whose influential presidential campaign spurred the loyal"Yang Gang" following. The other is a 57-year-old retired Marine, an asparagus farmer and a political newcomer looking to go up against the most powerful man in Congress.
But Broihier argues that Yang's support is just another sign of momentum ahead of the state's primary election on June 23. The other campaigns, he said, have been caught"flat-footed by the coronavirus" while he's racked up other big endorsements from former presidential candidate Marianne Williamson and the progressive political group Indivisible Kentucky.
After so many Yang staffers arrived at his doorstep this winter, Broihier adopted his most signature policy: universal basic income. UBI is a government guarantee that each citizen receives an unconditional minimum income. The idea picked up steam during Yang's presidential bid as he proposed a"Freedom Dividend" of $1,000 per month for all adult Americans to help combat increased automation.
"There's really nothing that can bring back the Main Streets of Kentucky and the rest of the U.S. like basic income can," Santens said.
