New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Yang said Tuesday the city is “overdue” for a woman mayor before advising he should be elected anyway.
Yang, a failed 2020 presidential candidate, told the
New York Daily News editorial board, “Certainly I think it’s overdue for there to be a woman mayor of New York City.”
“I know it’s just a matter of time.”
A NY1 poll released Monday showed Yang with a lead over Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, 22 percent to 13 percent.
City Comptroller Scott Stringer was in third among Democrat primary voters at 11 percent. De Blasio administration attorney and MSNBC analyst Maya Wiley was in fourth with seven percent.
