Zohran Mamdani took an unprecedented beating during Wednesday night’s mayoral debate – but Wall Street is still bracing for the worst come Nov. 4, sources told On The Money.
The socialist firebrand got roasted by rivals Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa over everything from antisemitism to his pie-in-the-sky ideas about buses and the rent. The rivals also capitalized on Mamdani’s bizarre failure to take a position on key ballot initiatives – provoking groans from a TV audience.
Nevertheless, many of the city’s big business leaders skipped watching the debate altogether – fretting that it may be too little, too late to save the city from a Mamdani mayoralty.
“It helps Cuomo, but it doesn’t close a 10-point gap,” one well-placed Wall Streeter told The Post. “Unfortunately, we’re going to have a f–king Jew-hating socialist running this city barring a miracle.”
Assessing Cuomo’s manifold failures, the source added: “He’s just not likable; Sliwa is actually more likeable, but can’t win. It’s really sad.”
The CEOs of the city’s major financial companies have resigned themselves to “Maoist Mamdani.” Some say a self-proclaimed Marxist mayor won’t change the overall direction of the city beyond the socialism that rules it today.
New York City, once the financial capital of the world, is a shell of its former self: Endless tax increases, waves of migrants, lax policing and homelessness has been the rule, rather than the exception since the mayoralty of Bill di Blasio, who served two terms starting in 2013.
Eric Adams did little to change that descent into madness. As a result, Florida, Texas and even Utah have become new meccas for NYC’s once proud banking community, a massive out-migration of jobs and tax dollars.

Because the debates don’t matter. Momdani is the shoo-in and that’s all there is to it.
Trump couldn’t win either. He only had a 5% chance against Hillary. And today we live in the world she made. 🙄
NYC deserves this guy
WHAT % OF WALL STREET IS GOING TO FLORIDA & WHAT % IS GOING TO TEXAS????
THEY CERTAINLY WILL NOT STAY IN NYC.
HOW ABOUT THE UN????????
I’m flabbergasted that anyone with an IQ above 12 would vote for Mamdammit.
He’s such an obvious huckster.
Or.... maybe it's not about likeability. Maybe sometimes when the people vote for a communist it's because they want communism.
I can’t believe she’s going out on tour next year. I see she’s booked in Target Center, where the Timberwolves play, in January.
“Aah-rooOOoooh!”
😄
“Momdani is the shoo-in “
No, he is not going to be mayor. I don’t care what the polls say.
There have been contingency plans for moving since the Cold War, but that doesn't mean they can just flip a switch.
Agreed. Let it go as far down the shitter as possible.
I enter President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden into evidence...
OK.Dumbocrats are that stupid. The Obamarama was among the wrst thing that eer happened to the USA. He was intentionally awful, Slow Joe was stupid beyond help.
How is Wall Street not celebrating right now? Inflation came in elevated again, over 3% and rising, 50% higher than Fed’s supposed target. Government is still shut down, it’s dragging on longer and longer, no end in sight. And yet, what are the financial headlines saying as of today, October 24th? “Stocks fly to fresh records after tame inflation report!”. That is literally what is happening right now. Wall street was pumping every market to new fresh new highs, TODAY. How is that not celebrating??
