Mamdani Won’t Support Israel’s Jewish Identity — and Democrats Can’t Agree Whether That’s Antisemitism

Today's lead: Zohran Mamdani doubled down Sunday on ABC, saying he "can't tell you I support" Israel as a Jewish state — and the California Democratic Party is now openly divided on whether to even call the Wiener harassment antisemitic. The DCCC chair sidestepped the question entirely.

Also tracking: Texas Democrats adopted anti-Israel language in their state party platform over the weekend, and Colorado's DSA-backed challengers vote tonight — the day's litmus test for how far the socialist wave travels outside New York.

In the wire: The Committee to Protect Journalists quietly audited Gaza's "journalist" death toll after Hamas and PIJ claimed some of the dead as their own fighters; Minnesota Republicans adopted the IHRA definition in their party platform; and Jewish groups are "really alarmed" about the DSA candidate now on Colorado's November ballot.
