## Resource

On this pre-election edition of the Jew York Times, I am joined by Jacob Kormbluh-- senior political correspondent for the Forward and an expert on the Satmar Hasidic universe, a powerful voting block that both mayoral candidates are trying to court. There has been a surprising rift in the Satmar Hasidic community over this year's NYC mayoral election. While this voting block tends to vote as one unit, Rabbis in the Satmar Ahronim political arm have disagreed on whether to endorse Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo or to remain completely apolitical. Today we go through the timeline of this story and where the community currently sits.
