Originally Published 2 months ago — by Forbes
Zohran Mamdani is heavily favored to win the NYC mayoral race with nearly 95% odds according to betting markets, amid high voter turnout and significant billionaire funding against him. The race features Mamdani, former Gov. Cuomo, and Curtis Sliwa, with Mamdani's campaign supported by progressive policies and opposed by major financial backers and political figures like Trump. Wall Street shows concern over Mamdani's potential victory, though some believe his policies may be less drastic than campaign rhetoric suggests.
