NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and former President Barack Obama had their first face-to-face meeting on Saturday.
The sit-down between the socialist pol and Obama took place at an undisclosed child care center, where they greeted local families after a private conversation, POLITICO first reported.
Mamdani’s public schedule failed to note he was meeting Obama, and listed only that he was planning to greet “children and parents” at 3:30 pm at an “early childhood education center.”
All press was banned from attending, with ABC 7 selected to provide pooled footage later, according to a news release.
Social media posts later revealed the event was in the Bronx.
Mamdani’s aides were working for months to set up the meeting, and made scheduling it sooner rather than later a key priority over the past few weeks, sources told Politico.
