Mamdani Is Working to Win Over NYC’s Skeptical Business Leaders

In the days after his primary win, NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani moved to reintroduce himself to the city’s business community amid growing skepticism about his policy platform. Mamdani had help brokering those early conversations from Kathy Wylde, president of the Partnership for New York City, a business lobbying group with 350 CEOs in its ranks. Wylde, a veteran of New York City politics, also arranged a larger-scale meeting where Mamdani took questions from 150 of the group’s members. Bloomberg News CityLab Reporter Fola Akinnibi and New York Politics Reporter Laura Nahmias join Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss their Big Take on Mamdani as New Yorkers head to the polls for early voting. They speak with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)
