Andrew Yang for Mayor?

It's certainly not off the table, the former 2020 presidential candidate told BuzzFeed News.

"You know, we're looking at it," the entrepreneur and newly minted CNN contributor said about possibly running for the top spot in New York City.

"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," Yang, of Schenectady, NY, told BuzzFeed News.

The 45-year-old, though popular among voters who were undecided about the Democratic candidates, dropped out of the presidential race on February 11, the morning of the New Hampshire primary.

"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," Yang noted.
