“I would wager that in the primary, more than 50% of the Jewish people voted for Mamdani,” Cuomo told the crowd of around 450 at a breakfast event Sunday at the Hampton Synagogue.
He believed they were influenced by Mamdani’s appeal to younger and first-time voters who, Cuomo said, view criticism of Israel as opposing the policies of the Israeli government in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “They are pro-Palestinian, and they don’t consider it being anti-Israel,” he said.
“We have the largest Jewish population outside of Israel, and I was proud to be the strongest advocate,” Cuomo continued. “But many, especially younger people, don’t consider saying anti-Israel is different than being antisemitic.”
“Mamdani won because he got the support from more voters than me!”

I mean, the bigger reveal is him admitting that over half the Jewish vote probably voted for Mamdani.
He pushed the antisemitism HARD. Every outlet pushed the antisemitism HARD. He’s admitting point blank it failed miserably.
And he’s admitting that new york jews are torn on Israel. That’s huge.
he also included jewish people as the reason he lost.
