Trump Slams Jewish Voters Supporting NYC Mayoral Candidate Amid Controversial Remarks

President Donald Trump accused Jewish voters in New York City who supported leftist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani of being “stupid” in a social media post on Election Day. Trump wrote, “Any Jewish person that votes for Zohran Mamdani, a proven and self-professed JEW HATER, is a stupid person!!!” on his Truth Social platform.

New York City voters cast ballots in a pivotal mayoral race shaping the city’s political future. Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who did not seek re-election, left three major contenders: Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, former Governor Andrew Cuomo as an independent, and Republican Curtis Sliwa.

Mamdani, a state assemblyman and democratic socialist, gained prominence after defeating establishment-backed candidate Cuomo in the Democratic primary using New York’s ranked-choice voting system. His campaign has sparked controversy for anti-Israel rhetoric, including threats to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the city.

Cuomo positioned himself as a centrist alternative, arguing Mamdani’s policies would drive businesses and families away. His campaign received unexpected support from Trump and entrepreneur Elon Musk, who labeled Mamdani’s platform “radical.” Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels, remains a longshot but continues to highlight his tough-on-crime stance.

Recent polls show Mamdani leading Cuomo, with Sliwa trailing in third place.
