BREAKING: Andrew Yang Drops Out of Race For Mayor of NYC

Another one bites the dust…

Andrew Yang dropped out of the race for Mayor of NYC Tuesday night.

Do you think it had anything to do with this?

When Andrew Yang was asked about choking “bitches,” he laughed. But violence against women isn’t a joke and downplaying it is disqualifying for any public servant. New York already has a governor who disregards women’s safety and well-being. We deserve better from our mayor. pic.twitter.com/PRLRCBbZsj

Maybe…

Or was this was the nail in the coffin:

I'm standing with the people of Israel who are coming under bombardment attacks, and condemn the Hamas terrorists. The people of NYC will always stand with our brothers and sisters in Israel who face down terrorism and persevere.

Someone should have told Andrew that he was going to have to be much more “progressive” (radical) than he was if he really wanted to win. It’s New York City.

The New York Post had this to say:

Andrew Yang dropped out of New York City’s mayoral race late Tuesday, as early results showed him in a distant fourth place in the Democratic primary.

“I am not going to be the next mayor of New York City, based upon the numbers that have come in,” Yang told supporters at his Election Night party in Midtown.

The tech entrepreneur, a frontrunner for the early weeks of the race, was the first City Hall contender to concede on Tuesday.

Early returns from the Board of Elections showed the former presidential candidate performing poorly, with just 11 percent of the vote behind, Eric Adams, Maya Wiley and Kathryn Garcia.

Yang made his concession speech about two hours after polls closed.

As his speech ended, the crowd of a few hundred began chanting “Andrew Yang.” One cheeky supporter also shouted “universal basic alcohol,” in an apparent nod to Yang’s universal basic income plan.
