-
The former NBC boss and longtime head of CNN, who paved the way for Donald Trump's presidency by greenlighting The Apprentice, told The New York Times' Ben Smith four years ago he was interested in a future in politics. In a new interview with Smith, Zucker didn't confirm he'll run for mayor next year, but added: “New York City is going to need a very strong mayor in the aftermath of this, and I always like a challenge.”
