Daniel Loeb, the hedge fund manager, and some other New York City business leaders are aghast at Zohran Mamdani’s success in the Democratic mayoral primary and are considering backing Mr. Adams in the general election.

Who is Zohran Mamdani- the candidate whose stunning victory in New York's Democratic Primary signals a shift towards affordable, progressive leadership in the city.

Jerrold Nadler, who represents parts of Manhattan in Congress, had previously endorsed one of Zohran Mamdani’s opponents, Scott Stringer, in the Democratic mayoral primary.
