What Went Down In The Fifth Democratic Debate

Andrew Yang just spoke about his freedom dividend. Sixty-six percent of Democratic voters support Universal Basic Income, according to a Hill-HarrisX poll from late September. There were substantially different levels of support by generation: Seventy-three percent of those in Gen Z support the proposal, along with 70 percent of Millennials, while 51 percent of Gen X voters and just 31 percent of Baby Boomers favor it.

I’ll just note the top-ish billing that paid family leave gets from this group of moderators. Who are all women.

Pretty much all of the candidates on tonight’s stage support mandating some kind of paid family leave, it’s just a question of how much leave they’re proposing.
