According to Opensecrets.org
Doesn't matter that New Yorkers overwhelmingly back Mamdani to address the Israeli-Gaza "conflict" (at this point clearly a sad euphemism).
Schumer said the quiet part out loud when he said "My job is to keep the left pro-Israel." And, as Jefferies stated, " Our commitment to Israel's security is ironclad."
The recent New York Times/Siena College survey asked likely New York City voters, regardless of which candidate they support, "which of the following mayoral candidates do you think has best addressed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict during the campaign."
Mamdani led the field with 43%, followed by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo at 16%, Mayor Eric Adams at 11%, and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa at 8%.
The poll also showed that 46% of likely voters sympathized with Palestinians compared to 29% with Israel.
Despite this, Schumer and Jefferies know which side their bread has been buttered, and clearly wouldn't mind a little bit more butter. Hochul, no stranger to trips to Israeli settlements to shhow support, has read the writing on the wall. Hopefully, our Democratic leadership will do the same.
