Mamdani Disavows Slogan, Seeks Business Support | JQJO

NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, facing criticism for his association with the pro-Palestinian slogan "globalize the Intifada," pledged to discourage its use while affirming support for its underlying principles. He explained the slogan's meaning to prominent business leaders, emphasizing his commitment to Palestinian human rights and anti-colonialism, aiming to alleviate concerns about endorsing violence. This follows his upset primary win, fueled by grassroots support, and precedes a general election where powerful figures are planning substantial spending against him.
