Bill Ackman Calls for Centrist NYC Mayoral Candidate Amid Mamdani Primary Win
- Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old Democratic socialist, won a surprising upset in the 2025 New York City Democratic mayoral primary by defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo.
- Following Mamdani's win, billionaire Bill Ackman expressed grave concern about NYC's future and called for a centrist write-in candidate to realistically challenge Mamdani.
- Ackman highlighted Mamdani's policies supporting defunding the police, rent freezes, and city-owned supermarkets, warning these would cause economic decline and endanger public services.
- Ackman committed to providing hundreds of millions in financial support for a suitable challenger, saying that if a qualified individual came forward, the necessary funding would be readily available.
- Ackman said the election is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to save NYC and offer a national platform, but noted the write-in candidacy is challenging and requires swift action before November 4.
