Former President Barack Obama and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani visited a preschool center in the Bronx on April 18, where they read a book and sang "Wheels on the Bus" to a group of children.
It marks the pair's first in-person meeting. They previously spoke on the phone when Obama called Mamdani during his mayoral campaign last year.
The visit also came days after Mamdani marked 100 days in office. The 34-year-old former assemblyman became New York City's first Muslim and South Asian mayor when he was inaugurated in January.
On the campaign trail, free childcare was one of Mamdani's key policy proposals.
Of Obama and Mamdani's meeting, the mayor's office said in a statement: "In between singing wheels on the bus, the two leaders discussed the Mayor’s vision for this City, and the importance of giving New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible."
