Many mainstream and conservative Jews are ready to rally around Andrew Cuomo if he runs for mayor, prominent Jewish activists told The Post.
“Cuomo is a moderate with a deep history with the Jewish community and a long record of fighting for issues we care about — combating antisemitism and strong support of Israel,” a source said — just days after embattled Mayor Eric Adams appeared in Manhattan court Friday on sweeping corruption charges.
“The Jewish community is very anxious for Cuomo to jump into the race. A lot of us will jump in for him,” said Jewish organizer who requested anonymity, adding he has discussed a candidacy with Cuomo.
Another Jewish advocate said, “Cuomo will immediately be the top candidate in the Jewish community.”
The development comes as even some of Adams’ supporters have expressed serious doubts that he can survive politically and win re-election, regardless of the outcome of his criminal case.
“I’m skeptical that Eric can survive and make it to next year’s election,” said Michael Nussbaum, former president of the Queens Jewish Council and a board member of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York.
“I would support Andrew Cuomo. We know he can manage and govern,” said Nussbaum, adding that he spoke to the ex-gov last week.
Another Jewish leader said Adams “is toast” in terms of trying to win re-election.
The city’s Jewish population was listed at 960,000 out of a total city population of about 8.3 million, according to a recent report. Jews could account for 20% to 25% of a Democratic primary vote, said Jerry Skurnik, a voter data analyst who runs Engage Voters US.
That large voting bloc was a major reason why Adams was successful in his 2021 campaign.
