Former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang officially jumped into the crowded race to become the next mayor of New York City on Thursday morning.
At a kick-off rally in Upper Manhattan, Yang promised to "revive" a city stricken by the coronavirus and introduced newly-elected Rep. Ritchie Torres as a co-chair on his campaign -- a striking endorsement for a candidate with no experience in city politics.
"I'm running for mayor for a very simple reason," Yang told a group of supporters in Upper Manhattan. "I see a crisis and believe that I can help."
