Sen. Chuck Schumer said he called mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to congratulate him and pledged to work together, as Jewish New Yorkers reacted with a mix of concern and celebration. Preliminary CNN exit polls show about 64% of Jewish voters backed Andrew Cuomo, with roughly one-third supporting Mamdani, reflecting deep divides over his pro-Palestinian activism and BDS support. Mamdani vowed to protect and “cherish” Jewish residents. The ADL launched a Mamdani Monitor, drawing his skepticism, and major Jewish nonprofits voiced unease. Some progressives cheered, while Bill Ackman sent grudging congratulations and offered to help the city.
