With a comfortable lead in the polls,  34-year-old Zohran Mamdani is on the brink of making history when New Yorkers vote on Tuesday, as the youngest mayor in over a century and the first Muslim and South Asian leader of the city. He sparked outrage during the primary process when he refused to condemn the term "globalize the intifada".  A letter signed by more than 1,100 rabbis cited Mamdani as it condemned the "political normalization" of anti-Zionism. Jewish voters are largely split between Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo in polling. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Ethan Kushner, Chair of American Democrats in Israel.
