Tlaib and Mamdani share similar progressive political views, particularly their opposition to Israel and support for the BDS movement against the Jewish state.
“Squad” member Rep. Rashida Tlaib has decided to hitch her star to an anti-Israel mayoral candidate in NYC, throwing her political weight behind Zohran Mamdani’s campaign through text message fundraising.
The New York Post reports that Tlaib’s solicitation recently appeared on mobile phones of prospective donors on behalf of “New Yorkers for Lower Costs,” a super PAC supporting Mamdani’s mayoral bid.
“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 in her fundraising message.
