At the moment, Straka is one of the grassroots people trying to ensure that Zohran Mamdani does not become the next mayor of New York City. I don't think that he's going to be able to get the numbers that, typically, most of the candidates who win New York City mayoral elections get. Straka notes that Mamdani rose to his candidacy on the votes of Gen Z during the primary. Straka added that in the big picture, Gen Z will not be the primary driver during the general election. Straka thinks that Mamdani may be coming across as anti-Israel and anti-Semitic, whether he intends to or not.
