Mamdani campaign hires former Obama, Clinton spokesperson who wished death on Trump

Former Obama and Hillary Clinton staffer Zara Rahim, who publicly wished death on President Trump after his 2020 COVID-19 diagnosis, has found a new gig consulting for Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign. 

Campaign finance records show that the 33-year-old Democratic Socialist assemblyman’s campaign paid Rahim $3,500 for communications consulting, the Washington Free Beacon first reported. 

Shortly after President Trump was diagnosed with COVID-19 in October 2020, Rahim infamously wrote on X that she “hope he dies” before quickly deleting the post. 

“It’s been against my moral identity to tweet this for the past four years, but, I hope he dies,” she wrote.

A representative for the Mamdani campaign did not respond to a request for comment and Rahim’s X account was deactivated after The Post reached out.

The outlet also reported that Rahim “helped the mayoral nominee craft campaign videos and accompanied him backstage during his Sunday appearance on Meet the Press.”

Rahim previously worked as a digital director for then-President Barack Obama as well as a spokeswoman for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.

Her website also notes that she has previously worked for bigtime clients like Nike, Uber and Vogue Magazine.

Rahim did not respond to a request for comment.

Mamdani soared to victory last month in a stunning upset over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary.

He’s since raised eyebrows with comments about his plans to jack up property taxes on “richer and whiter neighborhoods” and asserting that billionaires shouldn’t exist.

In November he’ll face off against incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who is running as an independent, along with Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa and independent Jim Walden.
