What should Jewish New Yorkers make of Zohran Mamdani? | Beth Miller and Jo-Ann Mort

Jo-Ann Mort and Beth Miller go head to head on Zohran Mamdani

While headlines would have you believe otherwise, Jewish New Yorkers supported Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayoral Democratic primary in droves. We showed up because our communities want to live and thrive alongside our neighbors in an affordable city where no one is left behind, and because we want a mayor who believes in Palestinian human rights.
