How Democrats in America’s Most Jewish City Embraced a Critic of Israel for New York Mayor
- On Tuesday in New York City, Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic mayoral primary, defeating Andrew Cuomo and alarming some Jewish groups.
- In the weeks before the primary, Mamdani’s campaign focused on affordability and housing, gaining support from younger, progressive voters amid debate over his Israel stance.
- Mamdani declined to condemn the phrase 'globalize the intifada,' prompting accusations of antisemitism from Jewish leaders and critics who view it as a call to violence against Jews.
- Jewish leaders voiced concern over Mamdani's rhetoric, warning of a potential 'Jewish exodus' from New York City amid fears of increased antisemitism.
- Mamdani's victory signals a political realignment among American Jews since the October 2023 Hamas attack, with a ranked-voting system requiring him to secure a majority to advance to November's election.
