February 13, 2021   

(NY Post) Andrew Yang’s new mayoral campaign manager Sasha Ahuja is a longtime progressive activist with ties to controversial Palestinian-rights fighter Linda Sarsour, a review of social media records by the Post shows.

Polling suggests Yang is the undisputed frontrunner in the race for City Hall.
