Former President Barack Obama has met privately with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani before joining together to read to preschoolers at a child care center in the Bronx. The meeting Saturday comes as Mamdani, a democratic socialist, is also trying to build a working relationship with Republican President Donald Trump. The meeting comes just over a week after Mamdani marked his 100th day in office. Obama and Mamdani did not take questions after reading the book “Alone and Together” to the children and leading a sing-a-long of “The Wheels on the Bus.”
