Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani returned to the United States on Wednesday from a week-and-a-half-long trip to his native country of Uganda and was allowed through Customs without any incident, his campaign confirmed to amNewYork.
Mamdani’s decision to leave the U.S. on July 20 to celebrate his marriage to Rama Duwaji with his family in Uganda raised concerns that President Trump’s administration, which has openly flirted with revoking his citizenship, might try to block his re-entry. The democratic socialist’s campaign even prepared for that possibility by keeping regular contact with the offices of Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York Attorney General Letitia James in case Mamdani ran into any issues, New York Magazine reported.
