Mortimer Zuckerman, chairman of Boston Properties and publisher of the Daily News, is mulling a possible senate bid, according to the New York Times. Zuckerman, a known Democrat, would be angling for the seat currently occupied by Kirstein Gillibrand, who replaced Hillary Clinton in the post. Although Zuckerman’s possibly candidacy has been kept very hush-hush, inside sources said he’s considering using a poll to test popular support. If he does choose to run, Zuckerman may not be the only Democratic angling for Gillibrand’s seat — Harold Ford Jr., a former congressman from Tennessee, has been widely thought to be launching a campaign soon.
