Obama’s newly revealed call to Zohran Mamdani ‘normalizes’ socialist NYC mayoral contender for wary Democrats

It’s the presidential seal of approval.

Former President Barack Obama’s newly revealed call with mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani is a nod that could help make the socialist more palatable to panicking high-level Democrats, insiders tell The Post.

Details about the June call — first reported by New York Times staff writer Mara Gay on Wednesday and confirmed by The Post — remain vague, but its disclosure appears to be part of an effort to persuade holdout Big Apple voters that Mamdani is not a fringe candidate.

“It gives the sense that President Obama’s world is comfortable with his candidacy. It normalizes him,” the Rev. Al Sharpton, who had close ties with Obama’s White House, said Thursday.

“It helps with the perception of some people that Mamdani is too radical. It sends a message that he is not unacceptable,” Sharpton said.

A source in Mamdani’s campaign said they hope Obama’s interest leads to an endorsement, which the progressive phenom has failed to get from prominent mainstream Empire State Dems such as Gov. Kathy Hochul, US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

“Zohran Mamdani is the future of the Democratic Party,” the source argued. “Zohran inspired people to get involved in the political party. President Obama recognized this.”

Obama message: Don’t tell anybody but I’ve had a crush on you for a long time. You’re the cutest thing. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

IIRC an endorsement by Jug Ears was the kiss of death. Has that changed? No?

The Demoncraps are going so far left that they cannot expect to take the House or the Presidency for the next 20 years.

I hope Obama continues to drive the Dems left. The Nation has gone right at the level of 82%.

NYC is about to become a Hell Hole. Watch their tax base move to Texas and Florida.

Ha. Looking for the perfect light for the picture.

Of course. Obama is a sexually confused marxist Muslim, as well as a fool.

Obama and Zoltar are exactly the same. Zoltar is mimicking Obama. They’re both Muslims. Both faked their identity on college applications. Both were born in Africa.

Just how is a secret phone call from Obozo supposed to help Mamdani? Truthfully Mamdani probably wants nothing to do with him.

Oh well, if Al Sharpton says so….

“normalizes”???? LOL!!!!
Obama has now inserted his foot in Mamdani’s closet when he’s already hiding in two closets…...
He’s hiding in Starmer’s closet part time.
I think Obama lives in Newscum’s closet full time.
Maybe they’ll all meet together for a foursome.
No wonder Michelle dumped him.

Seeing where Big Mike probably had odongo’s chef “boy toy” knocked off and is now likely headed back to Man’s World to find another “sucker”. The above might be a little beyond just some sarcasm....LOL

Business and jobs will flee like a tornado coming to town...all that will remain is the bottom feeders, trash and poor to poor to move.

If you own a business or real estate in NYC, now's the time to sell.

It already was a rush to the exit I can’t imagine if he is elected what it will be like.
