A division has surfaced within the Satmar Hasidic community in New York City regarding endorsements in the mayoral race. Rabbi Moishe Indig, a key figure in the Satmar Ahronim faction, endorsed Zohran Mamdani, a candidate known for his anti-Israel stance, while three other faction leaders publicly backed former governor Andrew Cuomo. Both Cuomo and Mamdani have claimed support from the influential group, reflecting internal disagreements. The Satmar community, one of the largest Hasidic voting blocs in the city, is weighing priorities such as yeshiva education and neighborhood concerns as they decide between the progressive Mamdani and the centrist Cuomo.
