‘Wall Street Panics Over Prospect of a Socialist Running New York City’

I’m not wild about a socialist becoming  mayor of NYC – or mayor of any city for that matter. But I loved the WSJ headline above. Let ‘em panic. The moderate establishment types need a good kick in the butt for having lined up behind a disgraced sexual predator.

Update – 6.26.25 — The WSJ has another follow-up piece on the NY mayoral election: “The Young College Grads Who Propelled Zohran Mamdini’s Victory in NY.” … I know of more than a few of such voters in New York. They’re in love with socialism now. The disillusionment will come later.

Update II – 6.27.25 — More freakout news from NY, via the WSJ: “NYC Developers Gripped by Hysteria After Mamdani’s Sudden Rise”
