IN a breaking development in the NYC Mayoral election, Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein who has endorsed Andrew Yang, is now urging people to vote for frontrunner Eric Adams as “number two” on their ballots. This is a significant development, as on Shabbos, Yang campaigned together with Mayoral Candidate Katherine Garcia. Political observers claim that Yang sees he has no chance in wining the election, and wants his voters to put Garcia as number two, as a huge boos for her race (due to the rank choice voting). Eichenstein apparently does not want Garcia to win, and instead wants the Jewish community to ensure that Eric Adams receives the unanimous vote of the community he represents. Sources tell YWN that Councilman Yeger is likely to do the same in the next few hours. I just voted early! 13 candidates are running for Mayor. I urge everyone to rank more than one candidate. Here’s who I ranked: Mayor:#1 @AndrewYang#2 @ericadamsfornyc#3 @RayForMayor Boro President:#1 Robert Cornegy#2 Jo Anne Simon I urge you to do the same. Please VOTE! pic.twitter.com/So3hcb8xyT — Simcha Eichenstein (@SEichenstein) June 20, 2021 (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
