Jeff Zucker Mulls Run for New York City Mayor

Ben Smith: “Four years ago, he told me he was considering a future in politics. On Thursday, I asked him whether he was interested in the most obvious role, which will be open next year in a city aching for leadership: mayor of New York.”

“He paused, and said he didn’t want his answer to cause a storm of news.”

Then, he said: “New York City is going to need a very strong mayor in the aftermath of this, and I always like a challenge.”
