Obama Offering His Services to Mamdani |
The former president sees an ideological ally in Mamdani. New York Times: Former President Barack Obama called New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani 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…. “It brings me back to 2007 when I was young and working for Barack Obama in Iowa, and everything was ahead of us,” Tommy Vietor, a former Obama spokesman and now host of the show “Pod Save America,” told Mr. Mamdani in a recent interview. “It was all hope and excitement, and there was nothing we couldn’t do.” “I think that with hope comes an immense responsibility to deliver on the promise of it, and I take very serious that responsibility,” Mr. Mamdani replied (New York Times). |
