‘I am not going to be the next mayor of New York City’: Andrew Yang concedes

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.
