Earlier this month, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2026\/05\/05\/citadel_ceo_ken_griffin_mamdani_has_made_it_clear_we_need_to_double_down_on_our_bet_in_miami.html\">Griffin said he is doubling down on moving his workforce from New York City to Miami<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>REPORTER: So, Mr. Mayor, we understand that you reached out through an intermediary to Ken Griffin in some way. I&#8217;m wondering what did you say? And also, aside from what you&#8217;ve already said publicly about how you want all New Yorkers to succeed, including him, what else might you do? What else might you need to do to engage him?  NYC MAYOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI: A member of our team reached out to his to set up a conversation. That continues to be an open invitation, and it&#8217;s part of invitations that I&#8217;ve made to a number of business leaders across the city, and I&#8217;ve appreciated those conversations. And I think what&#8217;s critical is that in those conversations, I both share that which you&#8217;ve already quoted, but also I&#8217;m there to listen and there to have a conversation that goes beyond places of agreement, but perhaps places of disagreement, hear honest reflection, critique, and not put any precondition on the nature of that conversation. So that continues to be an open invitation.  REPORTER: Was it ever your sense that he might have wanted a public apology in exchange for setting up a meeting? Is there anything else you think you need to say publicly before he might say yes?  MAMDANI: No, we reached out to set up a meeting. Still waiting to hear. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2026\/05\/15\/mamdani_i_dont_think_ken_griffin_wants_a_public_apology_a_conversation_continues_to_be_an_open_invitation.html\">RealClearPolitics Videos<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani responds to reports that Citadel CEO Ken Griffin wants the leader to apologize for filming a pro-property tax message in front of one of the businessman&#8217;s Manhattan condos.
