New York Times: “Few candidates have touched off fear and opposition among New York’s captains of industry the way that Mr. Mamdani has. Some have talked of moving out of state. Others are backing efforts to block his election.”“But a surprising thing has been happening when Mr. Mamdani gets behind closed doors with New York’s elite. They are finding themselves, unexpectedly, charmed.”“It’s partly because of what Mr. Mamdani, the well-educated and well-mannered son of Manhattan intellectuals, does: He listens, asks questions and is amiable.”“But it’s also what he doesn’t do: He doesn’t lecture the business leaders, instead absorbing their points of view and, at times, promising to think about their arguments.”
