Rashida Tlaib is actively fundraising for Zohran Mamdaniâs mayoral campaign through the pro-Mamdani PAC, New Yorkers for Lower Costs. Mamdani supports BDS against Israel and has reached the fundraising cap for public financing. Tlaibâs text solicitations have sparked backlash from pro-Israel donors, including a notable Jewish donor who expressed outrage. Tlaib criticized Andrew Cuomo's fundraising success linked to pro-Israel PACs, arguing that Mamdaniâs campaign struggles against well-funded opponents illustrate the challenges faced by candidates with anti-Israel views in New York.
Radical Israel-bashing "Squad" Rep. Rashida Tlaib is deploying her influence to fundraise for mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, amidst backlash from pro-Israel supporters.
"Zohran, who's led hunger strikes for a cease-fire [in Gaza] and workers' rights, isn't raising any more money for his campaign under New York City's public financing system," Tlaib stated, emphasizing the need for additional funding.
Tlaib criticized Andrew Cuomo's strong financial backing from super PACs, stating, "Andrew Cuomo, who's on the legal team defending [Israel] Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu for war crimes in Gaza, has millions pouring in from his billionaire-backed super PAC."
The backlash against Tlaib's fundraising efforts highlights the deep divisions over the Israel-Palestine conflict, with donors expressing outrage over her solicitations for Mamdani's campaign.
