Obama and Colbert gush over Mamdani in future of Democrat Party discussion
Stephen: So you have great leaders. You have people like Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill, very centrist. But then you have further left, like AOC and Zohran Mamdani. What direction do you think would be best for this party, to actually achieve change?
President Obama: Look at Mamdani, who I think is an
extraordinary talent. He wants people to be able to afford housing in New York. Well, you know, I would assume liberals in New York want the same thing.

Stephen: I think thatās one of the powers that Mamdani has. āNot only does he talk like a normal person, but he lives a normal life, but also, he names what is obviously wrong.ā
President Obama: Yes! And not have a bunch of gobbledygook around it
⦠Just talk like normal people talk,ā exclaimed Obama.
