The finance-world memes about Mamdani's expected NYC primary win
Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani shocked New York by leading the Democratic mayoral primary. His victory isn't assured yet. There's still a general election to come. Many in the finance world are struggling to accept his possible win, as showcased in the memes they posted. Wall Street is posting through it. Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani shocked New York on Tuesday night by becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee for mayor. Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist, ran on a platform that has terrified some in the business community. Of particular concern to finance types, he wants to raise corporate taxes to 11.5% and add a 2% income tax on New Yorkers making more than $1 million. Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the previous frontrunner, conceded to Mamdani, though an official outcome for the primary won't come until July 1, after ranked-choice results are tabulated and announced.
