Congratulations to Mayor Mamdani. He inherited a huge budget deficit, brought it down to zero, and still invested in childcare, housing and city infrastructure.
When municipal governments stand with working families, not billionaires, there is nothing they cannot accomplish.
It was great joining @JamesTalarico and @GinaHinojosaTX today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor.
Let’s get it done, Texas!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ghana Embassy Expresses Disappointment Over Lincoln University’s Late Concerns Regarding Visit of H.E. John Dramani Mahama
Washington, D.C. | March 24, 2026
The Embassy of the Republic of Ghana in the United States wishes to express its profound disappointment regarding a last-minute communication received from Lincoln University concerning the scheduled visit of the President of the Republic of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, on Thursday, March 26, 2026.
The visit, which includes the conferment of an honorary doctorate degree, honoris causa, had been agreed upon following extensive prior engagement between the University and the Embassy. Indeed, only last week, officials of the Embassy, together with representatives of Lincoln University, conducted a full walkthrough and finalized all logistical and programmatic arrangements ahead of the President’s visit.
It is therefore both surprising and regrettable that, just hours ago, the Embassy received a communication from the University indicating that concerns had been raised by a group regarding President Mahama’s perceived position on Ghana’s Human Sexual Rights and Family Values Bill, currently before Parliament.
The University has indicated that these concerns did not surface during its earlier due diligence and vetting processes prior to extending the invitation to President Mahama.
The Embassy wishes to place on record the following:
•President Mahama’s visit was formally accepted in good faith, following an official invitation by Lincoln University, an institution with deep historical ties to Ghana, including its distinguished association with Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
•All preparations for the visit have been duly completed, reflecting a shared commitment to the success of this important engagement.
•The timing of this development is deeply concerning, particularly as it arises after all arrangements have been concluded and with the President already in the United States—having arrived in New York in anticipation of honoring the University’s invitation.
While the Embassy acknowledges Lincoln University’s right to engage its internal stakeholders and uphold its institutional values, we note with concern that the issues now being raised relate to ongoing legislative processes within Ghana, which are subject to democratic deliberation and are not the unilateral position of any one individual.
President Mahama has consistently demonstrated leadership grounded in democratic principles, respect for human rights, and inclusive dialogue on complex societal issues. It is therefore unfortunate that these concerns have emerged at such an advanced stage, without prior engagement or clarification.
The Embassy remains committed to constructive dialogue and mutual respect. We trust that the longstanding and historic relationship between Ghana and Lincoln University will guide a thoughtful and balanced resolution of this matter.
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
I am declaring a State of Emergency for counties affected by this weekend's winter storm.
Take precautions to stay safe: Avoid unnecessary travel and sign up for emergency alerts by texting your county or borough to 333111.
Plan ahead, NYC! We're expecting up to two inches of snow tomorrow, and @NYCSanitation teams are ready to go. They'll be on the roads clearing the way if we get two inches or more.
We'll also be under a winter weather alert tomorrow, so be careful going outside and take it slow if you’re driving!
@UrsulaOwusu_ You are still in the Shock stage. Humble and sober reflection . Regroup and try again in 4 years. Don’t ever take the people of Ghana for granted. Thank You For your Service , Passion & Dedication.
The Lord is my shepherd; I have what I need, He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.He renews my life; he leads me along the right paths for his name’s sake
