Over the summer, he appeared on Fox Business warning that Mamdani \u201chates capitalism\u201d and is \u201ccloser to a Communist.\u201d After networks projected Mamdani\u2019s win over former Governor <strong data-start=\"1158\" data-end=\"1174\">Andrew Cuomo<\/strong>, Portnoy posted on X, \u201cThank God I don\u2019t live there anymore.\u201d Other business leaders echoed his alarm \u2014 including <strong data-start=\"1289\" data-end=\"1315\">Palantir CEO Alex Karp<\/strong>, who told CNBC the city is \u201cabout to have a complete disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1383\" data-end=\"1885\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Mamdani, born in Uganda and raised on Manhattan\u2019s Upper West Side, ran on a progressive platform that includes <strong data-start=\"1494\" data-end=\"1564\">rent freezes, city-run grocery stores, and expanded public housing<\/strong>. Supporters see his victory as a historic shift toward affordability and equity, while critics fear it will drive employers out of the city. Portnoy says he\u2019s torn between taking \u201ca principled stand\u201d and sparing his New York employees from upheaval \u2014 but insists he \u201ccan\u2019t stand the thought\u201d of Mamdani
