RJC Statement on Mamdani Win in NYC

Washington, DC - The Republican Jewish Coalition responded to Zohran Mamdani winning the New York City mayoral race:

It's official. Zohran Mamdani is the face of the Democratic Party now. Democratic "leaders", including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Governor Kathy Hochul, have handed their party over to what was once the radical leftwing fringe.

This is a deeply distressing result for New Yorkers, particularly Jewish New Yorkers, but in fact this election will affect all of us. The national Democratic Party owns this election and all its results, and voters across the country will hold them accountable when they vote in 2026 and 2028.

We've said it before and we'll say it again: There is only ONE party in this country fighting antisemitism and supporting Israel, and it is the Republican Party.

While Republicans loudly condemn antisemitism, Democrats have shamefully endorsed and elected an antisemite to run the largest city in America with the largest number of Jews in the country.

In Zohran Mamdani, New Yorkers will now have a mayor who will ruin their economy, their education system, and their transportation system with communist fantasy policies.

They will have a mayor who took money from terror-supporting Islamist organizations for his campaign, who is virulently anti-capitalism, anti-police, and anti-Israel, and who will not lift a finger to protect Jewish New Yorkers from the "globalize the intifada" crowd.

This is a dark day for the City of New York, and the Democrats own all of it.
