Easy, you don't target just the city. Or one campaign. Or even a campaign, there are some who set up the same sort of PAC - not to get a candidate elected, but specifically to oppose him getting elected.
If they were targeting just NYC, do you think you'd know this much about mamdani?
That said, some billionaires spent another $20+ million just last week. Some went to campaigns, some went to opposing mamdani. That was last week, and only some of the billionaires. Anti-trans and anti-immigrant groups are donating and running ads elsewhere. They are lobbying against mamdani and other for Cuomo in DC to try and get those reps to make statements.
Official spending? Not remotely near a billion. I'd say the campaign has officially spent $20mil or less.
Unofficial spending is going to be quite a bit more. I don't think its in the multiple billions, no. But I would say its a safe assumption to put it in the hundreds of millions.
hundreds of millions < what Mamdani's policies are probably going to cost them
I don't believe I ever said otherwise, so I have no idea what you're driving at.
