Former Democratic presidential candidate for Andrew Yang joins host Tim Boyum this week to talk about his efforts to create a successful third party in the United States.

Yang, who also ran for mayor of New York City, launched the Forward Party in 2021 and has candidates on the ballot in North Carolina this year.

Yang discusses those efforts, why his presidential run led to leaving the Democratic Party and how he thinks a third party could be influential in the years to come. He later reflects on some fun stories from the campaign trail.
