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

... 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?

More people voted in New York Cityâ€™s election this year than they have in 50 years.

Thatâ€™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. ðŸ—½
