New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Yang is in the hospital with an apparent kidney stone.
"After experiencing abdominal pain this morning, Andrew Yang visited an emergency room where he was diagnosed with what appears to be a kidney stone," co-campaign manager Chris Coffey tweeted.
Yang remains hospitalized with his wife, Evelyn, by his side.
His public events for the day are cancelled.
Yang was scheduled to hold a midday news conference to release his Broadway and live performance revival plan.
Later in the evening, he and his wife were planning to mark the reopening of entertainment venues in New York by attending a cabaret show for their weekly date night.
"He looks forward to getting back out on the trail in the days ahead," Coffey said.
