Obama offers to be Mamdani's 'sounding board' if he wins New York mayoral vote

Zohran Mamdani, the favourite to win New York's mayoral election tomorrow, received a call on Saturday from Barack Obama during which the former president offered to be a “sounding board” if his expected victory materialises.

Obama also praised the campaign the Democrat had run against his main independent rival, former New York governor Andrew Cuomo, and the Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa.

“Zohran Mamdani appreciated President Obama’s words of support and their conversation on the importance of bringing a new kind of politics to our city,” a Mamdani spokesperson said.

The 34-year-old, a Uganda-born state assembly member, has polled well ahead of Cuomo and Sliwa prior to tomorrow’s election. Cuomo, who resigned as governor amid sexual harassment allegations, is running as an independent after losing to Mamdani in the Democratic primary. Sliwa is the founder of the Guardian Angels, a nonprofit volunteer organisation dedicated to crime prevention.
