If Biden or Harris were in office, Mamdani would be a federal judge and Malik would head the Dept of Education.
Will NY Jews vote for Mamdani?
Approximately 1.8 million Jewish adults, just under one-third
of the total Jewish electorate, live in twenty-five Democrat congressional districts.
National Profile of the Jewish Electorate, May 2020
Of the top twenty-five districts by Jewish population, nearly half are in New York — NY10, NY-3, NY-12, NY-17, NY4, NY-9, NY-6, NY-8, and NY11.
The remaining districts with Jewish populations are found in seven states including Florida, California, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. FL-21 has the greatest number of Jewish adults at 152,000.
With the exception of NJ-4, these districts are represented by Democrats and all but two (NJ-4 and NJ-5) are Democratic-leaning districts.
A new study argues that the large majority of American Jews have a deep-seated notion that being Jewish is inextricably bound to being liberal.
That idea took hold after the large waves of Jewish immigration to the US in the late 19th century, according to the study’s author, American history professor Gil Troy.
American Jewish liberalism and association with the Democratic party is showing no signs of abatement, despite many predictions to the contrary since Ronald Reagan’s presidency, according to Troy’s research, which is being published by the Ruderman Family Foundation’s Program for American Jewish Studies at the University of Haifa.
