Adams closes in on Yang according to new poll in NYC mayor s race
A new poll, conducted before this week’s bombshell in the mayor’s race, shows the contest tightening as Eric Adams closes the gap with established frontrunner Andrew Yang.

Indeed, Reynoso’s campaign said the pair plan to formally announce the endorsement today at a noon press event in Sunset Park, home to Brooklyn’s Chinatown.
