Andrew Yang in Hospital Again, Campaign Says

NYC mayoral frontrunner Andrew Yang is in the hospital with a kidney stone after experiencing pain early Friday morning, his campaign said.

As of 8:45 a.m., Yang was still at the hospital, his co-campaign manager tweeted.

Update: After experiencing abdominal pain this morning, @AndrewYang visited an ER where he was diagnosed with what appears to be kidney stone. He remains at the hospital with Evelyn. His events for the day are cancelled, but he looks forward to getting back out on the trail soon.
