Andrew Yang, an entrepreneur and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, has been added to the speaking roster for the Democratic National Convention after previously expressing disappointment on Twitter that he wasn't included.
"I've got to be honest I kind of expected to speak," Yang, who has 1.6 million Twitter followers, tweeted on Tuesday after the initial DNC speaker lineup was unveiled. He later joked, "maybe I endorsed against one too many incumbents."
The convention, which will be held almost entirely remotely, will begin Monday, August 17, and conclude on Thursday, August 20.
Yang said on Twitter that he'll now be speaking on Thursday night at about 9 p.m.
