US EditionMamdani’s New York Win Shows Jewish Voters Are No Longer a Democratic Monolith
Zohran Mamdani's win highlights a split among Jewish voters on Israel and Gaza, with about one-third backing him, reflecting wider political shifts in New York's largest Jewish community.
- On Tuesday, Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, defeated Andrew Cuomo, former Democratic governor of New York, with about one-third of Jewish voters backing him, exit polls showed.
- A Pew Research Center poll last year found half of Jewish Americans under 35 found Israel's conduct acceptable, compared to 68% of Jews ages 50 and older amid spring protests at Columbia University.
- Mamdani's campaign emphasized the city's high cost of living, fueling support among young progressive voters, and he has said he supports the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement.
- The Anti-Defamation League last week launched a 'Mamdani Monitor' and Republicans plan to court Jewish voters in next year's midterms, unsettling both parties.
- The morning after the election, many in the Jewish community felt unease after antisemitic graffiti appeared at a Brooklyn Jewish Day School, while uncertainty remains about mayor-elect Mamdani's City Hall actions and role in next year's governor race.
