Joe Kernen, on CNBC, compared New York City to the fictional Gotham from "The Dark Knight Rises," especially in light of Zohran Mamdani's Democratic mayoral primary win. He hinted at a class struggle in the city, criticizing how Wall Street figures are treated, suggesting that extreme measures like forced ice walks are symbolic of the current political climate. Kernen humorously suggested colleague Andrew Ross Sorkin run against Mamdani due to their similar platforms, as the panel reflected on the media's opposition to Mamdani's proposals for tax increases and government-run grocery stores.
Kernen criticized Gotham-like conditions in NYC, highlighting a class warfare and the drastic measures candidates propose, such as raising taxes and imposing regulations.
