Former President Barack Obama told Zohran Mamdani “your campaign has been impressive to watch,” and suggested that he was invested in Mr. Mamdani’s success beyond the election.
Former President Barack Obama called Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic front-runner to become the next mayor of New York City, on Saturday, praising his campaign and offering to be a “sounding board” into the future. The private, roughly 30-minute phone call, which has not previously been reported, was described by two people who participated or were briefed immediately on what had been said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private conversation.
Mr. Obama said that he was invested in Mr. Mamdani’s success beyond the election on Tuesday. They talked about the challenges of staffing a new administration and building an apparatus capable of delivering on Mr. Mamdani’s agenda of affordability in the city, the people said.
The former president’s outreach on the eve of what has been a contentious election is notable, given how divided the Democratic establishment has been over Mr. Mamdani and the role that Mr. Obama still plays in the party. Mr. Obama spoke admiringly about how Mr. Mamdani has run his campaign, making light of his own past political missteps and noting how few Mr. Mamdani had made under such a bright spotlight.
“Your campaign has been impressive to watch,” Mr. Obama told Mr. Mamdani, according to the people. Mr. Obama has not formally endorsed Mr. Mamdani, in keeping with his general practice of avoiding any intervention in municipal races since he left office. But the call — the second between the two men since the Democratic primary — represents an important signal of Mr. Obama’s support as other leaders in the Democratic Party have kept a palpable distance from Mr. Mamdani, the 34-year-old democratic socialist.

Like I’ve I’ve been tied to the sounding board
Of course Dorkbama loves him. Neither has ability, talent, or even a grade school education in economics. And both are Muzzies, the religion of hate, rape, misogyny, and lying. Perfect DemocRATZ.
And by “sounding board” he means “shadow Mayor”.
Obama tried to give his demon to Kamala for the debate, I’m sure Mamdani already has all he needs.
On election night it will be a race between Obama and Sadiq Khan to be the first one to congratulate his victory for the Muslim Brotherhood.
I wonder if Obama gave Mamdani any last-minute advice on practicing taqiyya, Muslim permissible lying to infidels.
🤔
That night Karen Bass will come out as Muslim
“Of course Dorkbama loves him.”
They have the same handlers.
Blacks and Muslims who DESPISE AMERICA and CHRISTIANS STICK TOGETHER!!!
Karen Bass allowed her City to burn so the WEF can now build their 15 minute city in Pacific Palisades and Malibu.
I wonder which parts of NYC Mamdani is planning to torch?
that effing a- hole.
Whatever else may be said keep that in mind.
Looking back...I'd say they knew she was in trouble....just like these folks.
We’re paying a high price for letting foreigners into public office.
Final solution.
Inserting himself again...
If Obama helps out, Mamdami is doomed. Old Jug Ears has the Midas touch of sh!#.
communist to communist ...
[obama showing his true colors]
That’s the truth.
