After NYC primary upset, anti-Israel activist Mamdani vows not to ‘abandon my beliefs’

Beating Cuomo in Democratic mayoral primary, ‘globalize the intifada’ advocate who’d arrest Netanyahu says he’ll work to ‘understand the perspectives’ of those he disagrees with

NEW YORK — New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, after winning a stunning upset in the city’s Democratic party mayoral primary on Tuesday night, vowed to adhere to his views on foreign affairs, while grappling with other perspectives.

Mamdani is a longtime anti-Israel activist who alarmed many Jewish New Yorkers with his rhetoric and policy promises during the caustic campaign for the mayoral primary. His leading opponent, former New York governor Andrew Cuomo, had leaned into the Jewish vote and his pro-Israel bona fides throughout the campaign. The winner of the Democratic party primary typically wins the general election for mayor.

“There are millions of New Yorkers who have strong feelings about what happens overseas. I am one of them, and I will not abandon my beliefs or my commitments grounded in a demand for equality,” Mamdani said at a raucous victory party in the Queens neighborhood of Long Island City after Cuomo conceded.

Mamdani no doubt won the primary with some of the jewish vote,

Yes there is liberal jewish guilt, but I never thought it could turn suicidal.

This guy won on the strength of the white vote - especially the white woman vote. Polling data shows blacks and Hispanics voted for Cuomo. White liberal women are destroying Western civilization.

How does he escape the ranked choice shuffle? he did not get 50%— is it because Cuomo conceded.

I hope this guy wins. It’s going to mean sacrificing New York City, but it may be the only way to bring an end to this deluded communist streak the Dems have fallen into.

No, it's because he won the ranked choice shuffle.

Many people here don't seem to understand how ranked choice works.

Did he say this from the safety and comfort of his rent-controlled apartment in Harlem or his Bernie Sanders style dacha in The Hamptons?

I’ve said it more than once, giving the vote to women has been the downfall of Western Civilization...

We should have never let them vote or hold office.

I’ve seen him at 44% in first round, haven’t seen him at 50+ in subsequent round. It would depend on his #2 votes to get him there, it looks like to me. Have you seen him a t 50% + anywhere?
