Overview
- Zohran Mamdani won New York City’s mayoral race on Tuesday, a result that drew fresh pushback from Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy.
- Portnoy said on an Oct. 25 livestream that he asked Barstool’s finance team to start looking for property in Hoboken or Jersey City as an alternative to a Manhattan office.
- Following the election, Portnoy posted on X that he was glad he no longer lives in New York City.
- In prior comments, including a July FOX Business interview, Portnoy labeled Mamdani a communist and one of the “worst, scariest candidates.”
- Reporting notes Barstool has already shifted much of its production to Chicago, and there is no confirmation of a new corporate move from New York.
