Jewish Democrats in Congress sound the alarm on Mamdani
NEW YORK CITY, UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – Jewish Democrats warn Mamdani's support for BDS and refusal to condemn violent slogans may worsen antisemitism during a surge of hate incidents, with half of New York voters expressing concern.
- Zohran Mamdani won the June 2025 Democratic primary for New York City mayor, defeating Andrew Cuomo by 12 points despite Cuomo's $30 million campaign spending.
- Mamdani's campaign sparked controversy due to his refusal to disavow the slogan 'globalize the intifada' and his support for the BDS movement amid rising antisemitism.
- Several Jewish Democrats in Congress, including Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Rep. Jared Moskowitz, have publicly criticized Mamdani for his Israel-related statements and perceived failure to condemn antisemitism.
- Polling by American Pulse shows half of New York voters feel less likely to support Mamdani after learning his positions, while a third feel more likely, reflecting a divided electorate and heightened national attention.
- Mamdani approaches the general election backed by several union groups and certain political figures, yet continues to face resistance from within the Democratic Party alongside ongoing criticism regarding his position on Israel.
