From the New York Post: Many mainstream and conservative Jews are ready to rally around Andrew Cuomo if he runs for mayor, prominent Jewish activists told The Post.
“Cuomo is a moderate with a deep history with the Jewish community and a long record of fighting for issues we care about — combating antisemitism and strong support of Israel,” a source said — just days after embattled Mayor Eric Adams appeared in Manhattan court Friday on sweeping corruption charges.
“The Jewish community is very anxious for Cuomo to jump into the race. A lot of us will jump in for him,” said Jewish organizer who requested anonymity, adding he has discussed a candidacy with Cuomo.
Another Jewish advocate said, “Cuomo will immediately be the top candidate in the Jewish community.”
The development comes as even some of Adams’ supporters have expressed serious doubts that he can survive politically and win re-election, regardless of the outcome of his criminal case.
The report explains that the Jewish population in New York City is listed as 960,000 people, which could make up about 20% to 25% of a Democratic primary vote.
According to a separate report by the New York Post on Saturday, Cuomo is already telling people in powerful circles that he will run for Mayor of New York City if Eric Adams is ousted as mayor.
Cuomo, 66, a Democrat, served as governor of New York from January 1, 2011 to August 23, 2021. He was forced to resign from office after a number of women came forward to accuse him of sexual harassment.
