How Democrats in America’s Most Jewish City Embraced a Critic of Israel for New York Mayor

NEW YORK CITY, UNITED STATES, JUN 28 – Zohran Mamdani's win highlights a generational shift among Democratic voters, with 46% of younger voters supporting his pro-Palestinian stance despite accusations of antisemitism, a recent poll shows.

  • On Tuesday, Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic mayoral primary in New York City, defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo, signaling a shift in Jewish voter priorities amid controversy over his views.
  • This outcome resulted from weeks of debate over Gaza war positions, reflecting ideological shifts among Jewish voters since October 7, 2023, and frustration over affordability and Cuomo controversies.
  • Mamdani received 43.5% of first-round votes, pledging an 800% increase in hate crime funding and emphasizing human rights commitments.
  • Reactions after Mamdani's win highlight fears over safety and waning Jewish influence, with Rabbi Shimon Hecht urging unity to defeat him in November.
  • More broadly, the decline of unconditional pro-Israel support among Democrats signals waning influence of pro-Israel lobby groups like AIPAC in 2025 primaries.
