    I’m pretty sure a large contingent of her constituency is New York Jews, many of whom are probably Orthodox… It’s not a stretch to believe that many of those voters are also Zionists

      Zohran Mamdani has destroyed that argument already.

        Not only that, but her specific district is overwhelmingly Latino. The way the district lines are formed almost looks like it deliberately avoids the Jewish enclaves. She isn’t doing this to please her constituents; she has grander political ambitions and sees this as a prerequisite to gaining favor with the party brass.

        What impact does Zohran Mamdani realistically have over weapons sent to Israel?

          You mean his full boycott on Israel until it follows international law which goes far beyond a simple weapons emargo?

                Well, then I stand corrected.

        I completely agree with him on that.

        but, does a mayor has any power to do any of that?

      It makes no sense. It’s not like there’s a gazzilion jews in America and that’s why the majority of US politicians support Israel unconditionally. Jews in New York or elsewhere can cast only so many votes.
