Why a 'lukewarm' endorsement from Wall Street is an unexpected victory for Zohran Mamdani - Velshi - MSNBC
Zohran Mamdani is the 33-year-old state lawmaker running for New York mayor who recently swept the city's Democratic primary. The self-declared "democratic socialist" came from behind by campaigning hard on affordability – or lack thereof – in America's most expensive city.
Spectrum NY1 anchor Pat Kiernan and Fordham University Professor and FAQ NY host Christina Greer join Ali Velshi to explain how Wall Street went from sounding alarm bells on Mamdani’s economic policy to feeling “lukewarm” about the candidate – a welcome upgrade from an immediate emphatic no. - Aired on 07/19/2025.
