NYC Jewish pols urged to join ‘Jews for Zohran’ Mamdani and back Israel-bashing nominee for mayor
Jewish Leaders Rallying Behind Socialist Candidate for Mayor
A crew of Jewish leaders is hitting up fellow Jewish Democrats to get on board with socialist Zohran Mamdani's mayoral bid. They're worried about facing challengers from the left, especially those snatching support from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). It's all about keeping their seats safe!
Mamdani’s Rising Star: Support from Key Figures
Big names like city Comptroller Brad Lander and Rep. Jerrold Nadler are backing Mamdani after his fiery primary win against ex-Gov. Cuomo. But not everyone is vibing with this endorsement, as many Jewish lawmakers feel the heat over Mamdani's controversial stance on Israel.
Pressure Mounts: Fear of Primary Challenges Looms
Lawmakers are feeling the squeeze; they know if they don’t back Mamdani, his DSA buddies might turn into primary threats against them next year. It’s a real political game, and many are questioning whether loyalty to party trumps personal beliefs.
Divided Opinions: Balancing Principles and Party Loyalty
Former City Councilman Rory Lancman is calling out Jewish Dems to prioritize principles over party pressure. While some are stepping back, others are still hesitant as concerns over Mamdani's views on Israel spark debate within the community.
