I was one of the people who, as recently as a few weeks ago, assumed Andrew Yang's name recognition and most Americans' passion for rich people meant he would win the Dem primary and go on to become NYC's next mayor.

Nope.

Yang has conceded. Looking like Eric Adams has the most #1 votes. We'll see what happens once the ranked-choice votes are fully counted. I went for Garcia (#1) and Wiley (#2). Looks like both women did very well.

Thursday night, eight candidates duking it out to become the Democratic nominee for NYC mayor debated the issues — and each others' qualifications — ahead of the June 22 primary.

Last Night's Debate:

ABOVE: Chris Meloni liked a tweet of mine yesterday, so excuse me, but I'm spending most of today touching myself.
