Ray McGuire’s Political Moment Has Arrived With Early Bet on Kamala Harris
- Lazard’s president has been on periphery of politics for years

Ray McGuire has dipped his toes into political arenas for more than a decade.
He was floated as deputy Treasury secretary to Jack Lew under President Barack Obama. He was a finalist to become president of the influential Federal Reserve Bank of New York in 2018. In his run for New York City mayor three years later, he lacked widespread support like the eventual winner, Eric Adams, who is now facing federal bribery and fraud charges.
