When speaking to the press, Yang also noted feelings of disappointment and competitiveness. The former candidate lamented over not “[fulfilling] some people’s goals.” However, Yang also expressed amazement over his loss to “these people” who remain in the 2020 race.
An Overview of Yang’s Run for the White House
Throughout his time as a 2020 Democrat, Yang maintained his status as somewhat of an outlier candidate. He didn’t hesitate to point out areas where he believes Democrats can improve. Some examples include his assertions that Trump isn’t the cause of America’s problems, along with encouraging Democrats to go on news platforms like Fox News.
Yang also spoke out against the now-failed impeachment proceedings against the president. The tech entrepreneur admitted that while he personally favored impeachment, he also believed the issue would turn out to be a “loser” for Democrats. On that point, Yang’s prediction was accurate.
