Socialism in America’s Biggest City: Peter Guzman Reacts to Zohran Mamdani’s Win and the Political Shift Ahead
This week on The Middle Ground Radio Show, Tom Letizia and Russell Letizia sit down with Peter Guzman, President of the Latin Chamber of Commerce, for a timely and candid discussion following Zohran Mamdani’s victory as New York City’s first socialist mayor.
From his father’s escape from communist Cuba to his leadership in Nevada’s business community, Peter shares a deeply personal and pragmatic perspective on what this political moment means for America.
They break down the seven major Democratic wins across the country, the potential congressional gains, the weak opposition that paved Mamdani’s path, and Jon Ralston’s prediction that every Democrat in Nevada could win next year.
This episode dives into how socialism gained a foothold in the nation’s largest city — and what it signals for the future of urban America, business confidence, and the 2026 elections.
🎙️ A must-listen for anyone following the crossroads of politics, economics, and community leadership.
