Joel Rubin, who ran Jewish outreach for Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign and is a strategist for Democratic candidates, said Mamdani is a “huge deal” among U.S. Jews, in part because competition has been heating up between Democrats and Republicans in recent years for Jewish votes. The GOP has been more aggressively pursuing Jews, he said.

U.S. House Democratic Party leader Hakeem Jeffries endorsed Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor, 11 days before the Nov. 4 election.

While some critics decry Zohran Mamdani's vision for New York City as far-fetched, experts noted that they build off progressive foundations laid by past policies.

“I’d go half-and-half,” Cuomo said, trying to appeal to both sides. Laughter erupted inside the room as Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa, the republican nominee in the debate, both threw their hands up.

If Zohran Mamdani wins New York City’s mayor’s race next month, he would become the city’s first Muslim mayor and its youngest in a century.

The mayoral hopeful also spoke out in support of "those Muslims in this city who do not have the luxury of being the Democratic nominee."

The advertisement aired during the Knicks season opener and featured an altered New York Knicks orange and blue logo that replaced the word “Knicks” in with “Zohran.”

The New York City mayoral candidate delivered the burn while appearing on a bro-centric podcast — and even they couldn't help but laugh.
