Yang and Garcia Form Late Alliance in Mayor’s Race, Drawing Adams’s Ire

Andrew Yang and Kathryn Garcia campaigned together on Saturday in a show of unity that their top rival, Eric Adams, viewed as racially driven politics.

Andrew Yang and Kathryn Garcia, two leading candidates in the New York City mayor’s race, joined each other on the campaign trail on Saturday, a late alliance that prompted their top rival, Eric Adams, to criticize the event as an effort to weaken the voice of minority voters. Mr. Yang and Ms. Garcia fell just short of an official cross-endorsement; they passed out fliers at a rally in Queens that featured their photos and names side by side. “Rank me No. 1 and then rank Kathryn Garcia No. 2,” Mr. Yang said.
