Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York mayor, has told business leaders in the city he will not use the phrase “globalize the intifada” and discourage others from doing so, according to reports.
Just days ago, Dimon lambasted Mamdani at an event in Ireland, calling the mayoral hopeful “more of a Marxist than a socialist”.
Mamdani reportedly told business leaders at the meeting that his goal is not to drive business from the city.
“What ‘globalize the intifada’ means is really wrong and should be condemned,” Schumer told the Times.
“I’ve spoken to hundreds of business leaders saying, ‘Listen, nothing is going to happen to this city without me being aware of it and involved in it’.
