Like it or not, this is a prospective candidate:
CNN President Jeff Zucker is considering running for mayor of New York City, The New York Times reported Sunday.
“New York City is going to need a very strong mayor in the aftermath of this, and I always like a challenge,” Zucker told The Times.
The 55-year-old Zucker has served as CNN’s president since 2013 and previously led NBC in the late 2000s. The mayoral election will take place next year and incumbent Democratic New York Mayor Bill de Blasio is ineligible to run again due to term limits.
