## Resource

NYC has, arguably, dubbed its number one fan: Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The mayor has been celebrating big after the Knicks’ NBA Championship win, and cheering during the World Cup. To him, it’s more than sports; it’s political. “The World Cup offers us a chance to know each other as we truly are, to be curious, to be excited, to be joyful,” he told Latino USA. “Here in New York City, we have an opportunity to understand that no matter where you're from, you're at home.” Maria Hinojosa sits down with Mayor Mamdani to talk about sports, immigration, ICE, Trump, and what makes a great taco. This story is part of our democracy and election coverage: The Latino Factor: How We Vote. Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa.
