Mamdani Defends Socialism to Obama

The meeting between the former president and the current mayor served as a high-profile moment for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.

While the two men engaged in a lighthearted sing-along of 'The Wheels on the Bus,' their private conversation reportedly touched on the future direction of the party and generational change.

Mamdani has been a vocal critic of the Democratic establishment, yet he described his working relationship with President Trump as 'honest and productive.' The mayor also used the occasion to promote his plan for a tax on second homes as a key step toward taxing the wealthy.
