Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, who runs on a platform that centers around a universal basic income (UBI), recently spoke with Fox News associate producer Alexandra Rego amid his “New Way Forward” bus tour and played a game of “would you rather.” At one point, Yang was asked if he would rather not get elected president but UBI passes or take office and fail to pass UBI.
“Not get elected and UBI passes,” Yang said.
Elsewhere during the game, Yang’s answers revealed his preference for Star Wars over Star Trek, Harry Potter House Gryffindor over Ravenclaw, and his desire to see Trump get defeated in 2020 over getting impeached and removed from office.
As for the candidates who could get elected in place of Yang and pass UBI, Tulsi Gabbard and Marianne Williamson are the only ones that have supported UBI to varying degrees, per Ozy. Sanders previously supported UBI but now rejects it in favor of his federal jobs guarantee.
