Can't find either Clinton or Obama comments on race last night, but...

[LAS14]

... what I saw on TV was that Clinton praised the two women for moving the women's roles forward, and Obama made a generic comment. The were written comments, not videos. I think neither congratulated Mamdani specifically. Is that the case? And how come Google and ChatGPT can't find what they said?

1. I saw Obama's--congratulating the Dems who won and also said we have work to do.

2. Pres. Obama issues a broad congratulations to all Democratic victors last night

Far be if from me read anything in to that beyond a broad congratulations to all Democratic victors last night.

3. I don't use social media, but it took all of ten seconds to find Hillary specifically praising Mamdani:

More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years.

That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign.

Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. 🗽

5. Huh. Glad to see that. It's not what was shown on the TV program.

How did you find it? Google didn't help me.

7. You could sign up to follow Hillary's Blue Sky account, as that is where her comment got posted

4. So concerning...

6. Sometimes when people ask a question it's just cuz they want to know the answer. nt

[Hekate]

8. Or, by the way they phrase it, they just want to cast doubt on the intentions of prominent Dems, altho you wouldn't...

…altho you wouldn’t do that.

[LAS14]

9. Communication's a bitch. Not sure how to take this. No, I wouldn't indirectly "cast doubt." I'm...

...a very straightforward person.

10. Honestly? It helps Mamdani

The absolute last thing he needs at this point is glowing acceptance from the "establishment" he campaigned against.
