Summary
On this episode of the Andrew Yang Podcast, Andrew is joined by Brian Bengs, Air Force veteran and Independent candidate for U.S. Senate in South Dakota. After running as a Democrat in 2022 and learning firsthand that the party label was a dealbreaker in a deep-red state, Brian is back as an Independent, polling within 4 points of incumbent Mike Rounds and outraising every Democratic candidate in the state combined. He and Andrew talk small-town decline, why the parties have abandoned red states, and how to give voters a real third choice. Have a question for Andrew?
