Andrew Yang has bet big on New Hampshire, visiting 26 times and doing 132 events, based on his campaign’s tally
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Andrew Yang walked on stage for the McKinley-Shaheen Democratic Party dinner Saturday to rowdy applause. It wasn’t just the Yang Gang whose hoots and hollers filled the arena — they were joined by supporters of every other candidate.
Yang has bet big on New Hampshire, visiting 26 times and doing 132 events, based on his campaign’s tally. He has spent more than $3.5 million on TV ads here, according to Advertising Analytics. “When there's a really interesting new voice, we like to give every opportunity to give that voice a chance for the rest of the country to hear,” said Steve Marchand, a senior adviser to Yang, who was former mayor of Portsmouth, N.H.
"The job is when they get a chance to meet Andrew, can we move Andrew from on [their] list to the top of the list?” he said. “He's not ideological. He's really running to solve the problems that got Donald Trump elected in the first place,” Yang’s campaign manager Zach Graumann said. “So talking about it that way instead of ‘Donald Trump [is] bad,’ appeals to a lot of people that don't identify with a particular party.”
But Jesse Benton, campaign chair of libertarian Ron Paul's 2012 campaign, said Yang's idea won't fly with most “true” libertarians. Paul surprised with a second-place finish in the 2012 New Hampshire primary.
