Amid concerns among Jewish New Yorkers, Zohran Mamdani states he will “not waver” in combatting antisemitism as New York City mayor.

“We will build a city hill that stands steadfast alongside Jewish New Yorkers and does not waver in the fight against the scourge of antisemitism,” Mamdani says in his victory speech. “Where the more than one million Muslims know that they belong — not just in the five boroughs of this city, but in the halls of power. No more will New York be a city where you can traffic in Islamophobia and win an election.”
