Mamdani earns endorsement from influential Orthodox-Jewish community leader in NYC

Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, has received an endorsement from Rabbi Moshe Indig, a leader within the anti-Zionist Satmar Hasidic community. The endorsement is controversial and has caused pushback from other Haredi leaders due to Mamdani's public criticisms of Israel. This development highlights the division within the city's Jewish community over the candidate's stance on international affairs. The Satmar community represents a significant voting bloc, making the endorsement highly coveted in the mayoral race.
