A private dinner inside the White House turned into a strategy session this week as some of the most influential figures in American finance met with President Donald Trump to discuss one issue dominating the room: how to blunt incoming New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s economic plans. According to The Telegraph, the Wednesday night gathering brought together a long list of billionaire CEOs - many of whom rarely appear in the same room - because of rising concerns th

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is already making waves, and not in ways that reassure those worried about the city’s economy. Instead of focusing on the financial and public-safety crises facing New York, Mamdani has turned his attention to Starbucks, calling on New Yorkers to stop buying from the coffee chain while baristas remain on strike. On Thursday evening, Mamdani announced on X that he would not support the company during the labor dispute, writing, “Starbuc

Public filings reveal that one of the largest financial boosters to Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign comes from a political action committee tied to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which is a group that some federal lawmakers have publicly accused of having significant connections to terrorist organizations. Campaign finance reports show that the Unity and Justice Fund PAC contributed $120,000 to Mamdani. The PAC shares addresses, staff, and infrastructure

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is now publicly backing Mayor Eric Adams’ push to add 5,000 officers to the NYPD, and he’s using the proposal to sharpen attacks on democratic socialist mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani whose long record of anti-police rhetoric is proving politically toxic. Cuomo, speaking about the city’s officer shortage, said the hiring spike is needed just to return policing to a functional level. “We're losing police officers at one of the highest rate

Governor Kathy Hochul’s political missteps continue to snowball, this time igniting fury within her own party after she endorsed self-described socialist Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor. It's a move that even fellow Democrats have privately called disastrous. Representative Elise Stefanik, who has long branded Hochul as “the worst governor in America,” said Democrats across the state are now privately expressing regret for backing the embattled governor and are eager t

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, is facing new scrutiny after a watchdog group filed two criminal referrals alleging his campaign took unlawful donations from foreign nationals. The Coolidge Reagan Foundation submitted complaints to both the Department of Justice’s Criminal Division and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office asserting Mamdani’s campaign may have violated provisions of the Federal Election Campaign Act as well as New York elect

New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani drew a crowd in Queens on Sunday with the help of Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, two of the country’s most prominent progressives. But while his campaign billed the event as proof of momentum, critics see it as further evidence that Mamdani is tethered to a far-left agenda that will damage the city. The 34-year-old state assemblymember, running as the Democratic nominee, took the stage at Forest Hills Stadium a

Governor Kathy Hochul’s appearance at Zohran Mamdani’s “New York is Not For Sale” rally quickly turned uncomfortable when she was drowned out by chants of “tax the rich.” Instead of addressing the pointed heckling directly, Hochul attempted an odd deflection by insisting she thought the crowd was cheering for the Buffalo Bills. “I thought they were saying ‘Let’s go Bills,’” Hochul told a reporter when asked about the chants. “I wasn’t sure… I heard some noise, I heard a lot o

For decades, support for Israel has been considered an unshakable expectation for New York politicians, especially given the city’s role as home to the largest Jewish population outside of Israel. Zohran Mamdani’s candidacy represents a dramatic departure from that tradition and it has generated deep unease across Jewish communities in the city. Mamdani, a democratic socialist and outspoken advocate for Palestinian causes, has repeatedly characterized Israel as an oppressive
