Mamdani does not support changing Constitution to allow him to run for president

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani — born in Uganda — says he wouldn’t change the Constitution’s native‑born rule, quipping “the Constitution looks good the way it is.”
His national profile is rising after three House candidates he backed (two democratic socialists) won recent elections, showing growing progressive influence.
Mamdani’s economic populism and pro‑Palestinian stance have drawn fire from Trump, who’s labeled him a communist threat.
