Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang said Tuesday he has chosen another early voting state resident to pay $1,000 a month out of his own pocket, as part of his unconventional pitch for a “universal basic income” in the United States. Yang said in a statement that he will pay Kyle Christensen, 41, of Iowa Falls, Iowa every month for one year, starting on July 1. The campaign said he is the second voter to receive $1,000 a month from Yang, after he chose a voter in New Hampshire earlier this year. Yang, an entrepreneur from New York, is proposing a “freedom dividend” of $1,000 a month for every American over the age of 18. Giving money to potential voters in two crucial early voting states could raise some eyebrows, legally speaking.
