It’s official, the political landscape in New York City just got a lot more interesting. Former President Barack Obama visited a group of preschoolers in the Bronx this Saturday, marking a major public appearance alongside New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. This meeting is a significant progression in their relationship, coming just over a week after Mamdani celebrated his 100th day in office.
The two spent their time at the Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx, which is part of the city’s free preschool program for 3- and 4-year-olds. It is a part of community-focused work that Mamdani is trying to prioritize. Clips from the visit show Obama and Mamdani sharing a laugh and leading a sing-along of Wheels on the Bus, while reading to the children.
