US EditionFrom ‘mazel tov’ to ‘conflicted,’ Jewish New Yorkers react to Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral win
Zohran Mamdani's win highlights divisions in New York's Jewish community, with 64% favoring Cuomo and some endorsing Mamdani's focus on affordability and progressive policies.
- Zohran Mamdani, mayor-elect, won New York City’s mayoral race, sparking mixed reactions among Jewish voters and pledge to fight antisemitism.
- His campaign relied on a coalition including younger Jewish groups and earned endorsements from Comptroller Brad Lander and U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler, combining affordability with pro-Palestinian stances and recent discouragement of `globalize the intifada`.
- Preliminary exit polls showed about 64% of Jewish voters backed Andrew Cuomo, while 70% in Kew Garden Hills, Queens, supported him amid rabbinic voting exhortations and competing rabbinic letters.
- The ADL announced on Wednesday a Mamdani Monitor and tip line, while Jonathan Greenblatt warned the election 'enables an environment where hate is tolerated,' and J Street called the tracker `alarming`.
- While Mamdani rejected accusations and pledged to fight antisemitism, some Jewish New Yorkers fear his worldview threatens their communities amid rising incidents after Oct. 7, 2023.
