Andrew Cuomo backed by NYC Satmar Hasidic community after rabbi issues ‘unauthorized’ Zohran Mamdani endorsement
Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo secured the backing from leaders of a typically bloc-voting Orthodox Jewish group on Sunday — after a rabbi in the Brooklyn sect reportedly issued an "unauthorized" mayoral endorsement of front-runner socialist Zohran Mamdani.
Cheskel Berkowitz, Avrum Brach and Shulem Yitzchok Jacobowitz — leaders of the Satmar Ahronim community — threw their support behind Cuomo, who is running as an independent, in a public letter following the internal drama, according to the ex-governor's campaign.
"I'm deeply honored to have the support of these respected community leaders," Cuomo said in a statement.
