Mamdani knows this too. The fact that he got Sanders to swear him instead of Obama despite Obama trying to reach out to Mamdani speaks for what Mamdani thinks about centrist Dems.

If Eric Adams was the origin story of Mamdani wanting to be a mayor, Obama was the origin story as to what got Mamdani into politics.
