After Zohran Mamdani clinched the New York City mayoral race on Tuesday night, his campaign announced former FTC chair Lina Khan will be one of the transition team’s four co-chairs. Khan has been an ally of Mamdani’s, praising him in a New York Times op-ed about his outreach to small business owners.
Main Idea: Lina Khan will co-chair Zohran Mamdani’s transition team after his New York City mayoral win, signaling a tougher stance on corporate power and tech.
Key Points:
Wall Street and tech firms may face tougher rules and fewer deal chances, which could raise costs and slow growth for some workers and investors.
Lina Khan and Zohran Mamdani could push stronger protections for small businesses, gig workers, and city consumers if their policy plans become law.
