I’m not a New Yorker, but after watching the mayoral debate last night, I think it’s clear that Yang has the best policies and knowledge about how to lead NYC as opposed to the other candidates.

[cultureal]

Yang will at least do Math, other candidates won't/can't.

[rybfish]

How lucky would NYC be to have Andrew Yang as a leader.

[sugarsweet]

Wish I lived in NYC cuz Andrew Yang would have my vote for sure.

[danileis]

I stopped watching MSNBC after the Yang Blackout in 2019 but I will come back any time Andrew Yang is featured. I hope New York elects this good man.

[AA-sbpr]

Good interview, good questions and Andrew answered well.

[Bat_Boy]

Woohoo! Rank choice voting! At least we will know who the people really want.

[watchman]

Vote Andrew and secure the bag. $1000 a day for every New Yorker forever.

[discipleofluigi]

I'm a simple man. Talk about Yang, get like.

[NeonMoon]

NYC is such a sad and negative place. Andrew is more than welcome to come to California and lead here.

RANK CHOICE VOTING!
Yes, it’s complicated, that is why I like APPROVAL VOTING better. But anything is better than plurality voting.

[GratefulHippieChic]

Andrew Yang will be amazing for NYC.
I was hoping he was going to be President.
Maybe someday. 😉

[carjaune]

You could tell Scarborough was so disdainful of ranked-choice voting

[amysteele]

He’s so much better than the other candidates it’s almost comical

[danielceballos]

If by momentum, you mean a fart in the wind. His entire campaign crashed and burned like the Lindenburg

[drsmetal]

Ran from the city? Yang was in GA canvassing for Ossoff and Warnock to help win back the senate for the Democrats.

[Saichenyang]

To lead this country move forward, we don't chose races, but knowledgeable and brighter idea.

[jacobzaranyika]

Yes Rev, people want to know who will get it done and how.

[tchin]

I’m a former NYC Detective that retired and left NYC to the political bozo’s that campaign with the usual rhetoric (BS) and the people of NYC need a new initiative and voice and Yang will be that new voice. Yang needs to get rid of the old guard and cronyism that has existed in NYC for the past 50 years .... “Cronyism should be Defunded”and the new administration will close that deficit by cutting “agencies that have run amuck” and Yang needs to identify those dysfunctional agencies and cut the fat drastically ... it’s not hard to find dysfunctional leadership and the staff that has been devouring the city budget for doing NOTHING... Yang needs to listen to new ideas from young administrators and get rid of city heads and commissioners that should be hired under term limits, get rid of the cronyism and losers that have sucked the city budget dry and the city will bounce back.... this can only happen under an outsider...like Yang.
