Mamdani’s New York victory exposes fault lines in Jewish Democratic politics

Zohran Mamdani’s election as New York’s next mayor exposed a deepening rift between traditional Democratic Jewish voters and younger progressives — one that could reshape politics for years in the metropolitan area with the world’s largest Jewish population outside Israel.

New York’s newly elected mayor rooted his campaign in the personal while, ironically, exemplifying the tradition of the American ‘melting pot’, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

It was affordability that more than anything won those elections.

FYI, New York has not elected a Republican governor since George Pataki in 2002. It hasn’t elected a Republican senator since Al D’Amato in 1992. And it has not gone for a Republican presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan in 1984. www.thebulwark.com/p/elise-stef...

Elise Stefanik’s Bad Bet on MAGA Politics

For a promise of power, she has let herself be yanked around. Now she’s launched a Trumpian campaign for governor of New York.
