Conceding to Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo vows to continue to oppose antisemitism.
“We will not make the NYPD the enemy,” Cuomo tells a crowd of several hundred supporters, referring to Mamdani’s past opposition to the police.
“We cherish our diversity and we have no tolderance for discrimination of any kind,” he says. “We will not tolerate any behavior that fans the flames of antisemitism.”
The crowd cheers in approval.
Cuomo made combating antisemitism a central plank of his campaign, winning the support of mainstream Jewish groups.
