Mamdani says he will meet Jamie Dimon, other financial titans in NYC
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani said Wednesday he is prepared to meet with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and other finance titans as Wall Street braces for a new era of progressive leadership at City Hall.
Mamdani, elected Tuesday night to lead the nation’s largest city, will take office amid heightened anticipation from both political and business leaders.
Some of his more ambitious ideas have rattled Wall Street, drawing some of his fiercest critics. The clash underscores a widening divide between progressive visions for the city and the financial sector that has long powered it.
Dimon had previously said he would support Mamdani if he won the seat. Following the victory, billionaire Bill Ackman wrote on X that if he could help, Mamdani should "just let me know what I can do."
The Pershing Square chief previously pledged to finance an alternative candidate to Mamdani, should one emerge. He also warned that Mamdani's financial plan would "destroy jobs and cause businesses and wealthy taxpayers" to leave New York.
