US EditionTrump: Jewish voters who back Mamdani ‘stupid’
Trump called Mamdani a communist and threatened to withhold federal funds if he wins, endorsing Cuomo who leads Jewish voter support by 23 points, according to a recent poll.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump renewed attacks on Zohran Mamdani as polls opened, using Truth Social to insult Jewish voters and label Mamdani negatively.
- Longstanding disputes over Israel and Jewish voter loyalties explain Trump's pattern of linking Jewish voting choices to threats against Israel, while Zohran Mamdani's statements on Gaza and October 7 drew criticism during his campaign.
- The Democratic nominee has secured endorsements from Jewish leaders like influential Orthodox rabbi Moshe Indig and local figures, while proposing rent freezes, fare-free buses, universal childcare, and city-owned grocery stores.
- The president warned he would withhold most federal funding from New York City if Mamdani wins, saying it would cause an economic and social disaster under his administration.
- Amid mixed polling, Jewish advocates responded, with Jamie Beran saying, `The antisemitism smears against Zohran Mamdani increasingly fall flat because people are learning to see through smokescreen antisemitism`, while a Marist poll showed 32 percent support among Jewish likely voters to Cuomo's 55 percent.
