Some of New York’s wealthiest financiers are scrambling to build out a network of outside groups that plan to go to war against Democratic nominee for mayor Zohran Mamdani as a last stand against the surging progressive candidate.

NYC landlords are scrambling to stop Mamdani's ascent, warning that the candidate's policies would "destroy" the city's rental market. But renters back him up.

Trump floated taking over the city under a Mamdani mayoralty, saying, “We have tremendous power at the White House to run places when we have to.”

Mamdani won the Democratic primary, NBC News projects, and will face the incumbent, Eric Adams, in the general election. Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo may keep running, too.

During a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Trump was asked about the New York City mayor’s race. Mamdani won the Democratic primary last month, drawing the ire of Trump. Mamdani is a self-described democratic socialist. Trump has consistently referred to Mamdani as a communist; Mamdani has said that he is not.

What I witnessed on campus was not education but indoctrination — a sweeping cultural revolution fueled by anti-Americanism, antisemitism and revolutionary zealotry.

Zohran Mamdani has won New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary. A new vote count Tuesday under the city’s ranked choice voting system confirmed the progressive legislator’s stunning upset of former Gov.

On the campaign trail, Mamdani galvanized voters with his pitches on how to rein in the city’s sky-high cost of living, from fare-free buses to a rent freeze on rent-stabilized apartments.

Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assemblyman representing northwest Queens, last month shocked the political establishment by trouncing the longtime front-runner, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, whose name recognition, experience and support of billionaires and corporations, made him the favorite.
