据Politicco报导, 亿万富翁对冲基金投资者比尔·阿克曼(Bill Ackman)为保卫纽约市捐助了100万美元。 Billionaire hedge fund investor Bill Ackman has donated $1 million to Defend NYC, a super PAC opposing Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign in New York City, according to Politico. 这笔捐款是紧锣密鼓的,紧接着Ackman在民主初选期间向支持Andrew Cuomo的PAC捐助了50万美元,Mamdani赢得了这笔捐款。 The donation, made amid a tight race, follows Ackman’s prior $500,000 contribution to a PAC backing Andrew Cuomo during the Democratic primary, which Mamdani won. Mamdani现在带领Cuomo作为独立的大选民调而竞选。 Mamdani now leads Cuomo—running as an independent—in general election polls. 艾克曼是前特朗普支持者, 并且对马姆达尼的民主社会主义观点和对以色列的声明持强烈的批评态度, 他曾支持市长埃里克·亚当斯. Ackman, a former Trump supporter and vocal critic of Mamdani’s Democratic Socialist views and statements on Israel, previously backed Mayor Eric Adams. 由前特朗普顾问创立的保卫纽约市组织从9个捐助方筹集了130万美元,用于咨询和投票。 Defend NYC, founded by a former Trump adviser, has raised $1.3 million from nine donors and has spent on consulting and polling. Mamdani的竞选活动驳回捐款, 表示纽约人将选择市长, Mamdani’s campaign dismissed the donation, saying New Yorkers will choose their mayor regardless of outside money.
