Biden, Sanders and Harris were the top candidates in first. But as the primaries went on, Businessman Andrew Yang will become more popular among the youth vote. Yang would be invited to the debate stage, he would attack many candidates on their problems, such as he attacked Kamala Harris for being having a corrupt past and Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden for being too old. Sanders would dropout surprisingly and endorse Yang for the presidency and Biden would dropout due to his "Creepy Joe" scandal. Yang would have to face Kamala Harris in the final primaries, Yang would surprisingly win the primary narrowly despite criticism for the establishment Whig of the party, such as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama refusing to endorse him. Yang would later pick U.S Representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii as her running mate, which made the establishment Whig even more angry, as she talked with Syrian dictator Assad.
