WASHINGTON – In case you missed it, FOX News Digital reported on Competitiveness Coalition Chairman Ronna McDaniel’s recent letter to socialist New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani in which she urged him to reconsider the appointment of former Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan to his transition team.

“‘(Mamdani is) saying one thing and doing another by putting her as the co-chair of his transition team,’ McDaniel told Fox News Digital. ‘Lina Khan, for us, represents the embodiment of inflation in this country, and Bidenomics. I think she’s the best example of somebody who raised prices across this country by fighting entrepreneurship, and innovation, and big business, and capitalism.’”

“‘When you look at what Mamdani ran on, these things that sound good but in practice won’t be good – rent control, government-run grocery stores, free bussing, raising the corporate tax rate … it sounds good, but it’s not tenable and what it means is that businesses will say, ‘Guess where I’m not going to do business in? New York City. I’m going to go to states that have better tax rates, that have less regulation, that will allow me to pay my employees and grow,’ McDaniel contended.”
