Billionaire Investor Mobilizing Against New York Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani
Middle American News ^ | 06/28/2025 | Wyatt Porter

Posted on 06/28/2025 8:48:21 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman is stepping up big time against socialist Zohran Mamdani in New York City’s mayoral race. Ackman’s ready to pour “hundreds of millions of dollars” into supporting any strong candidate who can take on Mamdani.

Mamdani just beat Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary and is now set to face Mayor Eric Adams, who’s running as an independent, and Republican Curtis Sliwa in November.

Ackman, the guy in charge of Pershing Square Capital, is really worried about Mamdani winning. On X, he said he woke up “gravely concerned” about the city’s future. He’s not a fan of Mamdani’s plans to defund the police, open city-owned supermarkets, and freeze rents, warning it makes apartments harder to find and more expensive.

He compares a Mamdani-run New York to troubled cities like Seattle, Chicago, LA, and SF, all run by Democrats. Ackman fears less respect for the NYPD and more crime if Mamdani wins, quoting Senator John Fetterman who mentioned that Mamdani’s win was like “Christmas in July for the GOP.”

Ackman’s got funds ready to support a challenger immediately, saying, “there are hundreds of million of dollars” waiting to back someone strong. He’s working hard behind the scenes, even using text and WhatsApp to organize.

Even if the challenger needs to run as a write-in candidate, Ackman believes it can motivate people to flood the polls.

With NYC being America’s financial hub, many on Wall Street are worried about Mamdani’s policies, which include city-owned supermarkets, rent freezes, and cutting police budgets.

Ackman’s also concerned about Mamdani’s views on Israel. Mamdani hasn’t supported Israel’s right to exist and hasn’t condemned calls for violence. Ackman notes that “words matter” and can fuel dangerous actions.

He even hints that former Mayor Michael Bloomberg could help out in the battle against Mamdani. Ackman encourages folks to suggest names and conduct polls to find the best candidate to win.

Republicans and conservatives, the call is on—let’s find a leader who respects the police, understands economics, and keeps NYC safe and prosperous!

Zohran Mamdani’s plans for New York City are causing a lot of worry, especially for those who think his ideas could be harmful. He wants to cut the police budget and control how much people pay for rent. These ideas might sound good to some, but there are worries that they could make it harder to find places to live and keep everyone safe. Cutting money from the police could mean there’s less help to keep the city safe, leading to more crime and problems on the streets.

Many people, including some from Wall Street, are concerned about what Mamdani wants to do if he becomes mayor. New York City is important for business, and Mamdani’s plans to open city-run supermarkets and freeze rents might not be good for the city’s economy. These changes could make it tough for businesses to thrive and for people to find jobs. There’s a need for a leader who understands how important it is to keep the city working well for everyone, from small shops to big companies.

The search for a strong candidate has begun, with many hoping to find someone who can stand up against Mamdani’s ideas. People want a leader who respects the police and knows how to grow the economy without hurting important parts of the city. By coming together and supporting the right person, there’s hope for a future where New York City stays a safe and bustling place for everyone.

Sorry but people like Ackman and other wealthy elites are largely responsible. They financed, supported and celebrated the Democratic Party no matter how unsound and ridiculous the candidates and the policies. They were much like the Russian elites who supported the “revolutionaries”. By 1920 those Russian elites were either dead, imprisoned, impoverished or emigrated. No sympathy for Ackman and his ilk. Sympathy now goes to the remaining minority of decent hard working people who have no choice but to remain, endure and suffer.

The opposition will have to get behind Eric Adams and reelect him as the Mayor.

Trump needs to offer Sliwa a position with his administration.

Whatever I may think of billionaires these days, i am glad to see this report.
NYC is just too important to allow it to slip into the control of anybody with anti-American attitudes and policies.

“The libtards in NYC are running scared.”

“Sorry but people like Ackman and other wealthy elites are largely responsible. They financed, supported and celebrated the Democratic Party no matter how unsound and ridiculous the candidates and the policies.”

Ackman very publicly supported Trump in 2024 & continues to do so.

Democrat Mayoral Jihadi Zoran Mamdani Defended UK Muslim Terrorists
Who Beheaded Lee Rigby On London Public Street in Broad Daylight
Geller Report ^ | June 27, 2025 | Pamela Geller
Posted on 6/28/2025, 5:33:31 PM by george76

Two Muslim terrorists mowed down Fusilier Le Rigby in a car before hacking him to death in the street in front of horrified onlookers near Woolwich Barracks in south-east London in May 2013.

They both said that they were ‘soldiers of Allah.”

Democrat Mayoral Candidate Zoran Mamdani shared an article by leftist Glenn Greenwald questioning whether the killing was terrorism because Rigby was a soldier.

Ackman's that Jewish billionaire who generously funded the Ivy Leagues -- with their "anti-white" classes and programs -- until their anti-Israel protests after Oct 7. Then Ackman suddenly withdrew funding.

I assume that Mamdani's anti-Israel rhetoric is the biggest reason Ackman is opposing Mamdani.

Some people are happy to support the the Left, until their own group is targeted.

Well, that's already happened. DeBlasio wasn't exactly a patriot.

So now he's worried. He did t give a flying F if his liberal politician won, but now since a socialist won, he's worried. He and his social buddies are part of the problem.

Would love to see a Strong MAGA candidate emerge. That would be fun...
