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.

God some people are infuriating.
All but one of my Jewish friends became hard core Republicans during Obama’s first term.
The one who didn’t is an IRS agent.
Exactly, you’re just trading one dictator for another.
“Sigh, they never learn, do they?”
That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking! Bunch of masochists up there.
Even in the 1970s, when I lived in NYC, support for Israel was a top issue in local races.
Sorry, but the Jews are stupid. They deserve their fate for following the D brand.
Well, I for one agree… any Jew or white woman who votes for Dems is an idiot.
Only a certain Nussbaum is named, the rest of the quotes are anonymous.

Is this news report on the up-and-up?
Hey NY Jews- how about voting in a republican and seeing you support skyrocket? Wake up!
You are literally posting Nazi propaganda
No
NYC still hasn’t figured out elections have consequences have they?
Again that idiot word “propaganda.”
Propaganda: ideas, images, arguments someone disagrees with and chooses to discredit with the use of a pejorative rather than a counter argument.
You are literally using the language the Nazi’s used, Alter Kaker.
You are literally driving on Autobahns the Nazi’s came up with.
You or your kids are literally accepting “kindergeld” which the Nazi’s started.
What’s your point?
Since you won’t get it, I’ll spell it out for you.
The Nazi’s had support by many Jews early on, even though it was known long before they seized power that the Nazis were no friends of the Jews. Mein Kampf sort of spells that out.
Today, the Jewish vote is behind the Democrats, who are no friend of Israel and in fact largely are behind the Palestinians, no friend of Jewish values, and support mass immigration from places that are predominantly Muslim.
Now, ask yourself this, a Nazi poster that says, “The eternal Jew,” sort of ironic, isn’t it?
Please start using your brain.
The downstate NYC area is so different from upstate NY. Really a shame that the state cannot be divided into two states.
Changing one Democrat for another is trading one corrupt POS for another. Welcome to the new mayor same as the old one.
Not really. The population centers in upstate are solidly democrat. Ithaca Syracuse Buffalo Rochester are all solidly in the democrat’s plantation
True, but geographically it resembles the U.S. red Blue map. https://www.politico.com/2020-election/results/new-york/
USA factoid
Heads of household men who are primary earner in two parent families thru taxes and transfer payments
Support in a large way single moms culture
In addition too their own families
It’s a mess and a recipe for failure
I don’t live in Germany so I do none of those things.
