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 frontrunner 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.
