His campaign slogan was "Obama here, Obama there" in reference to his half-brother who was serving his second term as the President of the United States. Obama garnered 2,792 votes, about 140,000 votes behind the eventual winner.

Prior to the 2016 United States presidential election, Obama stated that he supported Donald Trump, the candidate for the Republican Party. He attended the third presidential debate as one of Trump's guests. On June 12, 2020, Malik Obama reportedly endorsed United States president Donald Trump, and later in the week posted a fake and historically inaccurate birth certificate of Barack Obama in support of the Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories. The birth certificate alleges the US president was born in the Republic of Kenya in 1961, despite the Republic of Kenya not being founded until December 12, 1964. The faux Kenyan certificate also contained a seal which read South Australia, further affirming its lack of authenticity. His sister Auma (among others) condemned him for promoting the theory. Since then, he has consistently taken to news sites to express his adverse opinions about his brother, alleging that he made a pact with the Devil.
