They're coming for Mamdani's age.

Just how young is he, really?

A lot of my most viral videos and stories come from asking a simple question of the media: “Did you check?”

Whether it’s outing Max Miller’s fabricated story about being attacked on the highway, testing the waters of Rock Creek Park where RFK Jr. took a swim, or calling out media reliance on misleading data, doing the job journalists are too lazy to do has become a significant part of my social media content.

I can already tell I’m going to be doing a lot of checking when it comes to the New York City mayoral election.

Zohran Mamdani, who won the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City Tuesday, will be 34 years old for the general election in November.

His age has become yet another target for the media machine. Brazen and racist attacks are out in the open though seldomly echoed by mainstream media, but the constant mention of his age (and only his age) in headlines feels forced.
