While Obama had not met Mamdani in person prior to Saturday's visit, the former president called the self-proclaimed socialist shortly before his election and offered to be his sounding board, according to The Associated Press.
Mamdani marked his 100th day in office less than a week ago, vowing to create five government-run grocery stores by the end of his first term on Jan. 1, 2030, falling in line with promises made during his campaign.

In terms of direction, 56% of residents said they liked where the city was headed under Mamdani, an improvement from the 31% who said the same in October, the outlet reported.
