Yang to Announce $120K Giveaway

September 12, 2019 at 7:30 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Andrew Yang will announce during Thursday night’s debate that his campaign will randomly select 10 families and give them a total of $120,000 over the next year as part of a pilot program for his universal basic income plan,” Politico reports.

“Yang will announce the online raffle in his opening statement, and people will be able to enter during the next week, according to a person with knowledge of the plans. The money will be distributed to 10 families in increments of $1,000 per month as a way of highlighting Yang’s signature campaign promise, the implementation of a universal basic income.”
