“The results show that most Jews, at least in New York City, at least in my district, agree he’s not antisemitic,” Mr. Nadler said in an interview, saying he had spoken with Mr. Mamdani on Wednesday. He came away from the conversation reassured about where the assemblyman stood, and willing to help him win over Jewish voters, Mr. Nadler said.
Mr. Mamdani has said repeatedly that he abhors antisemitism and has said that if he were elected, he would increase funding to combat hate crimes.
He alluded to concerns from the Jewish community in his election night speech, noting the “millions of New Yorkers who have strong feelings about what happens overseas.”
“While I will not abandon my beliefs or my commitments, grounded in a demand for equality, for humanity, for all those who walk this earth, you have my word to reach further, to understand the perspectives of those with whom I disagree, and to wrestle deeply with those disagreements,” he told a crowd in Queens early Wednesday morning.
