Wall Street is in a state of panic following Zohran Mamdani's victory in New York City's mayoral primary, Axios' Madison Mills reports.
Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, campaigned on a message that New York has gotten too expensive. He has proposed free child care, free rides on city buses, a freeze on rent increases for certain apartments and higher taxes on the wealthy.
