I am at the Andrew Yang versus Paperboy Prince basketball game. Gale Brewer is here too. Image
Yang and Prince talk about spreading love in a time of increasing hate crimes. Yang says this is a good example of the power of ranked-choice voting. Image
No candidate is less afraid of public humiliation than @AndrewYang, between the Ziwe interview and dancing to “Yang, You about to Lose.”
“I have all these memories of Jay-Z on all these songs but I was never sure if it was his song or something he was guesting on... should have said “Dirt off your Shoulder,” or something from that era... I’m sorry Jay.” Image
Politicians are stealing journalist’s jobs. Image

Two sources with knowledge of the announcement tell me state Sen. John Liu, the first and only Asian-American elected citywide, will be endorsing Andrew Yang for mayor tomorrow morning.
Great article in @Curbed on Friday on some of the dynamics behind this big endorsement.

Liu has certainly taken a while to get to this decision. He spoke to @SydneyKashiwagi last month, after AAPI progressives signed a letter criticizing Yang.

“Major” Yang endorsement tomorrow and I have absolutely no idea. As much as I hope it’s the surviving members of Linkin Park, I guess I’ll guess... Brad Hoylman? Image
Team Hoylman, btw, says it is not Hoylman.
Also not Gale. A lot of folks speculating Liu in the DMs 👀

At @ABetterNY, @ScottMStringer not so artfully tries to connect Yang’s criticism of UFT with his spending time in New Paltz during the worst of the pandemic. “He clearly doesn’t understand what so many went through” and implied he doesn’t “show respect” for teachers.
Stringer accuses Yang of trying to “score cheap political points” on criticizing UFT and well... both teams are playing a game right now.

A source says @AndrewYang and @TwuSamuelsen just had lunch together, as the endorsement courtship continues between Yang and the transit workers union.
TWU President John Samuelsen turned some heads with his nice tweet about Yang last week. Would be quite a notable endorsement, since Yang hasn’t picked up any real labor support* yet.
*Yes, Yang was co-endorsed by the Freelancers Union, which is a (very-large!) union-like advocacy group in my understanding, but not an actual labor union.

Which mayoral candidate is spending like a drunken sailor? ... Who's spending big in the Bronx specials? ... and can't say they didn't warn us about pandemic petitioning ... All in the newsletter: bit.ly/3lnDUa7 Image
A HUGE welcome to Campaign Confidential Contributor @SydneyKashiwagi! I've been a fan for years, and am so excited to work more with her as the primary approaches.

Rev. Sharpton knows show business - so @AndrewYang gets the *first* in-person speaking spot at NAN’s MLK Day celebration.
Yang talks about knocking doors in Georgia with MLK III, who just formally endorsed Yang’s mayoral campaign today.
Side note, this definitely feels like it’s violating some COVID regulations. Does this count as a church service? The seats are less than 6 feet apart for sure, though everyone I see is masked up.
