Opinion: What happens if Zohran Mamdani succeeds as NYC mayor?

Steve Krakauer is a NewsNation contributor and executive producer of "The Megyn Kelly Show." He previously worked at CNN, TheBlaze, NBC and Fox News.

Zohran Mamdani is 33 years old, a millennial born in the ‘90s. His wife is even younger — she’s a legit Gen Z 28-year-old. And he is likely to be the next mayor of New York City, America’s largest city and clearly the most influential mayoral post in the country. Every recent poll has him up by double digits, some by as much as 28 points.

He is also an avowed socialist — a “Democratic Socialist” to be exact, but a socialist nonetheless. He has a litany of uber-woke Twitter posts in his past. He is, at first glance, a radical progressive who will fundamentally transform (to use the old Obama phrase) the biggest power center in the world.
