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.

- Amid broader sentiment favoring capitalism, Adams’s experience provides contrast, and Gallup poll found at least 60% of Americans view capitalism favorably.

At the Bari Press, the ideal mark for the silly New York Times anti-Mamdani hatchet job tries desperately to pretend that the story is relevant with racially paranoid would-be gotchas: Yes, neener-neener, Mamdani identifying as “African-American” as well as “Asian” is just like Elon Musk identifying as “African-American,”…if Musk also identified as “white” and clarified “Afrikaner” in the “additional information” section. CHECKMATE LIBS! Anyway,…
