CNN political commentator Andrew Yang may not be finished with the spotlight, as he is mulling the idea of a run for New York City mayor.
Asked by Buzzfeed if he would consider a run for the mayor position, Yang told the outlet, “You know, we’re looking at it.”
He added:
“One of the things I’m most curious about is who are the other candidates in the race, and what the race would look like. Because I tend to want to do something where I feel like I’m gonna have a big impact and add a lot of value, so if there’s someone who’s already running who would have a positive agenda that’s very aligned with mine — I’m not someone who is just driven by maximum political advantage. I wanna see how much value I can add.”
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio will be stepping down from the position due to term limits.
Additionally, Yang told Buzzfeed that former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign has “reached out” to him, but “at this point, I consider Joe a friend.”
Yang took to Twitter late Tuesday to express support for his former political rivals, as he suggested Sen. Elizabeth Warren
