In the video, she targeted young voters and encouraged them to participate in the voting process.

“This election is gonna be decided by young voters,” she said in the clip.

“The average New Yorker is 38 years old,” she continued. “The last mayoral race was decided by 7,000 voters. That means that your vote really matters. Go ahead, get out there, we know it’s hot, but the time is now.”

A beaming Zohran chimed from behind her and said, “Let’s do it.”

“I’m a millennial, a true millennial,” the model said in a January, 2020, video, throwing support behind the self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist.

“I think one of the things that’s so interesting about young people supporting Bernie Sanders is that he’s not like a young, s**y candidate,” she continued. “What he says speaks so much to what people want, that sort of who he is, it’s so much beyond just one man.”

The model went on to call Bernie “extremely genuine” and “consistent.”

“Bernie has always been very clear about how he advocates for women’s health care, which is hugely important to me,” she added at the time.
