Mamdani Won on Affordability. Can He Win Over NYC’s 1 Percent?
Description
Zohran Mamdani clinched New York City’s mayoral race by campaigning against wealth inequality and promoting affordability.

On today’s Big Take podcast, host Sarah Holder is joined by Bloomberg reporters Emily Flitter and Fola Akinnibi and speaks with Kathryn Wylde, the CEO of the Partnership for New York City, which represents the interests of the city’s business community. They discuss what Mamdani’s victory means for Wall Street and how he plans to win over the 1 percent.
