The Yang Gang is growing.

WASHINGTON — When I paid a visit back in June to the campaign headquarters of Democratic presidential contender, the candidate and his team were riding high. He’d qualified for the first and second DNC debates. The Yang Gang, his fervent online following, was growing by the day. What was lacking was the lifeblood of any serious presidential operation: money.
Fundraising was the Yang campaign’s “weak spot,” as the campaign’s finance director, Dylan Enright, told me. Unlike the governors and senators in the race, Yang had started from zero: no existing email list, no donor base from a previous campaign. He’d raised $1.7 million in the first three months of 2019 and $2.8 million in the second quarter — respectable totals but far behind the top candidates in the race. “Every day it’s how much money do we get in the door,” Enright said.
