In the video clip, Oddo is shown being interviewed by a film crew from the Norwegian comedy show Rikets røst (meaning “Voice of the Nation”), a show similar to The Colbert Report. The comedians had gained entry to councilman Oddo’s office by posing as TV journalists who wanted to get the view of a Republican on the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

In 2010, when developers planned to build a Muslim community center and mosque in Lower Manhattan, Oddo said he understood the outrage of families opposed to building a Muslim place of worship within a mile of the World Trade Center.

He outran Democratic candidate Lou Liedy, Green Party candidate Henry Bardel, and Libertarian Party candidate Silas Johnson. His percentage of 69% was the highest ever for a non-incumbent winner of the office, beating the record set by Republican Robert Connor in 1965. James Oddo was re elected Borough President on November 7, 2017 with 75.56% of the vote.

In 2005, Oddo said that police officers conducting random security searches on the New York subway system was not enough. Instead, he wanted police officers to prioritize the searching of young Muslim men.
