Former President Obama called Democratic NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, offering support and advice, without formally endorsing him.
Former President Barack Obama called Zohran Mamdani, a leading Democratic mayoral candidate in New York City, for about 30 minutes, praising his campaign and offering to serve as a "sounding board" if Mamdani wins.
The call, not an official endorsement, marked Obama’s second direct outreach to Mamdani since his primary victory over former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is now running as an independent.
The discussion focused on staffing a new administration and advancing affordability policies.
Obama, who has been active in supporting Democratic candidates in Virginia and New Jersey, has not formally endorsed Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist known for progressive stances and criticism of Israel.
Mamdani leads in polls with 47% support, ahead of Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
