New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani addressed concerns over his views on globalization by Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla at a meeting with 100 business leaders from the Partnership for New York City. The Democratic socialist, who shocked city officials by winning last month’s primary, stated he would discourage the phrase “globalize the intifada” to alleviate pressure. This comes after Mamdani’s unexpected victory over Andrew Cuomo in the mayoral race.
