This week on "The Takeout," Democratic candidate for president Andrew Yang joins CBS News' Major Garrett for breakfast.
2020 Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang joins CBSN's "Red & Blue" to discuss why he's making universal basic income a priority in his platform and why he thinks he'll make the cut for the first debate in June.
Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang talks about robotics, artificial intelligence and the changing workforce in America on this week's edition of "The Takeout with Major Garrett."
Yang, who is running to become the mayor of New York City, said he's experiencing "mild symptoms" but is "otherwise feeling well."
A source close to the former presidential candidate told CBS News that he is "seriously considering" a run for mayor.
The decision to remove Yang from the ballot, Yang's lawsuit alleges, will result in "disenfranchising hundreds of persons" and "suppressing voter turnout" to the detriment of down ballot candidates.
Before the coronavirus crisis in the U.S., Yang, then a presidential candidate, proposed granting every adult American monthly payments of $1,000.
Yang joins 10 of Biden's former challengers who endorsed the former vice president.
"You know, I am the math guy and it is clear tonight from the numbers that we are not going to win this race," Yang told supporters in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Yang also took a shot at Mike Bloomberg, saying the former mayor "is really missing a massive opportunity to invest in him" by rejecting donations
The comedian is just one of the celebrities who have joined the "Yang Gang."
"I think he has the capacity to bring in voters from progressives from independents from Trump supporters from conservatives to libertarians," said one voter who didn't vote in 2016.
"I think we need to outperform expectations," Yang told CBS News.
The 2020 Democrat's campaign is funding a pilot program that gives 14 people $1,000 a month for a year — no strings attached.
While other 2020 contenders focus on Iowa, Yang has spent more days campaigning in New Hampshire than any other candidate
