Andrew Yang will announce his bid to become NYC's next mayor tomorrow morning. During his rollout, he intends to announce a local version of his “Universal Basic Income” proposal, his team said

He will then hopscotch the city, via public transportation, to meet with elected officials in voter-rich neighborhoods. He is planning lunch with Queens Borough President Donovan Richards and do a walking tour with Assemblymember Latrice Walker, who represents Brownsville, Brooklyn.

The cash would not affect current benefits like housing vouchers and Medicaid, according to the policy paper. The plan already won the support of Ritchie Torres, a former City Councilmember who was recently elected to represent the Bronx in Congress. The video is meant to introduce Yang to voters and solidify his New York City ties — it highlights him riding the subway, visiting a barbershop and answering lightning round-style questions about local sports teams and local food rivalries from his wife, Evelyn.

The Yang Gang approach looks more like Yang Dang. I would not adapt this approach. $2,000 per year comes to $38 a week and for a household of four it’s $9.62 per person. Not very life changing. That $1B would be better spent creating 20,000 $50k jobs. Now that’s impact!

Would be great if it was “his” personal money $5.48 cent - $13.69. For coffee and a bagel everyday thanks to him. But no, just another pandering give away of others earned income.

Yang to officially launch NYC mayoral campaign ThursdayAndrew Yang is running for mayor of New York City. The former presidential candidate announced his candidacy this morning in Morningside Park. More needs to be said about Politico hiring Ben Shapiro. Guess they were jealous of Newsmax quick rise (or maybe there's a shortage of qualified, professional conservative journalists). Sad for quality journalists that are stuck there as Politico sells itself out. UNSUBSCRIBED. Oh good, a new Borat movie. RowanMarxFilms YangForMayor 🧢🍀🇺🇸🌞 HumanityForward YangForNY
