He has come out with Universal Basic Income, everybody gets $1,000 a month. Now what candidate can offer up something to compete with that?

How can he do that? Tax Amazon etc.

“This is independent of one’s work status or any other factor,” Yang’s campaign website said. “This would enable all Americans to pay their bills, educate themselves, start businesses, be more creative, stay healthy, relocate for work, spend time with their children, take care of loved ones, and have a real stake in the future.”

The presidential hopeful's campaign projects the UBI could permanently expand the economy by 12.56 to 13.10 percent, the equivalent of $2.5 trillion by 2025, while also growing the labor force by 4.5 million to 4.7 million people within that timeframe/"

He also is for Single Payor Healthcare.

"With a shift to single-payer, costs can also be controlled directly by setting prices provided for medical services. The best approach is highlighted by the top-ranked Cleveland Clinic. There, doctors are paid a flat salary instead of by a price-for-service model. This shift has led to a hospital where costs are visible and under control. Redundant tests are at a minimum, and physician turnover is much lower than at comparable hospitals."

And he also has a sex angle to the campaign.

Yang has declared himself an ally of “intactivists,” the name used by people who believe circumcision is best left to adults who can make an informed decision for themselves. Intactivists believe circumcision reduces the sensitivity of the penis, and that it’s not a parent’s place to perform body modifications on a child that might make sex less enjoyable later in life.

Remarks: I cannot imagine him in a debate with Trump. I just can't.
