NEW YORK (NewsNation) — Former U.S. presidential candidate Andrew Yang said his new Forward Party will be the third-largest political party in the country and is approaching a budget of “$10 million.”

In an interview on a podcast hosted by NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo, the former Democrat said some of that money is going toward a national tour and the Forward Party’s first convention.

As to who is funding the venture, Yang simply said, “Patriots … leaders who realize that the system’s broken and needs to get fixed.”

Chris Cuomo’s new show will debut on NewsNation at 8 p.m. ET Oct. 3.
