Excitement is brewing in New York City as the Jewish community throws its support behind former Governor Andrew Cuomo for the mayoral race, according to a recent report by the New York Post.
With current Mayor Eric Adams facing corruption charges, doubts about his re-election have surfaced among his supporters. Cuomo, known for his moderate stance and strong ties to the Jewish community, is gaining momentum as a potential candidate.
A recent study revealed that New York City is home to over 960,000 Jews, making them a significant voting bloc in the Democratic primary elections. Cuomo’s unwavering support for Israel and vocal stance against antisemitism have positioned him as a top contender.
Standing Firm for Israel
Cuomo’s dedication to Israel is evident through his organization “Progressives for Israel,” aimed at bolstering the Democratic Party’s support for the country. Despite facing legal challenges, many in the Jewish community view Cuomo as a capable leader.
While some continue to support Mayor Adams, others believe Cuomo’s track record and advocacy for Jewish causes make him a strong candidate. The upcoming mayoral race is sure to be an interesting showdown between two prominent figures.
