Join us for a conversation about the political implications of Gen Z — from a bona fide member caught live in the wild.

Caroline Downey is a staff writer for The National Review. She recently published this piece on the rise of Zohran Mamdani — the “Democratic Socialist” (read: communist) who may well be the next mayor of New York City.

Beijing’s TikTok, in many ways, helped give us Mamdani…. and it was Gen Z’s TikTok addiction that paved the way. Mamdani is Gen Z’s guy in New York.

Is this the future of the Democratic Party? Of all American politics?

And… what role did the rising Gen Z play in President Trump’s election? (Note: It’s not what you think).

If you’re interested in where American politics is going… Caroline’s is a voice you need to know.
