Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist and state assemblyman, emerged as a formidable contender for NYC mayor, gaining momentum and endorsements despite opposition from establishment figures. While Obama has not officially endorsed Mamdani, he recently commended his campaign as “impressive” and offered to serve as a sounding board, signaling covert support.
The mystery deepens with Obama hinting that Trump may have launched a covert political attack or disinformation campaign against Mamdani, aimed at sabotaging his chances in the crucial election held on November 4, 2025. Sources suggest this could involve attempts to undermine Mamdani’s reputation or influence key voter demographics through backdoor channels, a tactic seen before in Trump’s political playbook.
Obama’s comment serves as a warning about the hidden battles shaping politics today—where public campaigns are only the surface of fierce, strategic conflicts over power and ideology. It also reflects concern that such actions threaten democratic processes and voter choice.
