Kathleen Parker: Among Wealthy Manhattanites, Eric Adams Wins the Most-Popular Vote

NEW YORK CITY, JUL 14 – Wealthy Manhattan residents and influential business leaders back Adams to block socialist Mamdani, fearing his policies could harm business and inspire similar movements elsewhere.

  • Last week, Marc Holliday hosted a fundraiser at his Manhattan office tower, as business leaders rallied behind Adams following Mamdani’s primary win.
  • Wealthy backers view Adams as the best defense against policies harming business, and Kenneth and Maria Fishel co-hosted a fundraiser this month in the Hamptons with John Catsimatidis and others.
  • Beyond his youth, Mamdani served two terms in the state assembly after attending Bowdoin College, where he majored in Africana studies and co-founded Students for Justice in Palestine.
  • Adams was alleged to have accepted gifts and luxury travel valued at more than $100,000 in exchange for favors, and a Mamdani win could have a ripple effect inspiring other socialists.
  • Amid broader sentiment favoring capitalism, Adams’s experience provides contrast, and Gallup poll found at least 60% of Americans view capitalism favorably.
