New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and former President Barack Obama attended Learning Through Play Pre-K, an early childhood education center in the South Bronx. The pair read the children's book "Alone & Together" to toddlers and participated in a sing-along of "Wheels on the Bus." BlazeTV host Pat Gray criticized the event for using toddlers as a publicity stunt to further cement their Marxist beliefs. Gray also questioned whether Obama would have considered himself a socialist, given his extensive knowledge of such issues.
