Zohran Mamdani
A recent Marist College poll had better numbers for Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee and frontrunner, who has a history of anti-Israel statements.
“This was a sustained pattern of foreign money flowing into a New York City mayoral race, a clear violation of both federal and city campaign finance rules,” per the Coolidge Reagan Foundation.
Mamdani has accused Israel of “genocide” and said that he would have the Prime Minister Netanyahu arrested if he comes to New York City.

“‘Transgender rabbis for Zohran’ should be a ‘Saturday Night Live’ sketch, but somehow, it’s a real part of his political campaign,” said conservative activist Christopher Rufo. “Prayers up for New York City.”
“There is a word for this kind of twisted fear mongering and conspiratorial thinking: antisemitism,” Jonathan Greenblatt stated.
Supporters of Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa “hold the 11% blocking Cuomo from winning the race,” the Suffolk University Political Research Center wrote Monday.
The House minority leader told the ‘New York Times’ that the two have “areas of principled disagreement,” but the Democratic Party needs to unite against the “existential” threat from President Donald Trump.
Bill Donohue, president of the group, signed onto a rabbinic letter decrying the New York City mayoral race frontrunner’s anti-Israel statements.
The former New York governor asked Mamdani why he supports BDS against Israel but not Uganda.
“I’m sorry that we have to feel isolated in our own city,” the former governor and mayoral candidate said.
“The overwhelming majority of Sliwa supporters would not touch Andrew Cuomo with a 10-foot pole,” the Sliwa campaign told JNS.
The mayoral frontrunner prioritizes “anti-Zionist synagogues and groups” at the expense of “perspectives and concerns of the vast majority of Jewish New Yorkers,” per the AJC.
