Zohran Mamdani says 'I don't think we should have billionaires'

“Importantly, there are hundreds of million of dollars of capital available to back a competitor to Mamdani that can be put together overnight (believe me, I am in the text strings and the WhatsApp groups) so that a great alternative candidate won’t spend any time raising funds. So, if the right candidate would raise his or her hand tomorrow, the funds will pour in,” he added.

Crazy how much money the rich will spend on campaigns to not have to spend it on taxes.

It’s a two year term he was elected to last fall. I really hope that he can’t hold any political position for wasting his constituents’s time and money.
