On his show, Sean Hannity linked New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's hug with the New York Mets mascots, Mr. Met and Mrs. Met, to the team's current 11-game losing streak. The Mets, who experienced their longest losing streak since 2004, were at a one-game losing streak when Mamdani visited Citi Field on April 9. Hannity referred to this phenomenon as the 'Mamdani Curse.' Additionally, the mayor's recent activities, including a visit to a preschool with former President Barack Obama, drew criticism from Hannity, who expressed skepticism about government promises. The situation escalated to the point where local talk radio host Sid Rosenberg switched his support from the Mets to the New York Yankees, labeling Mamdani with derogatory terms. This incident highlights the intersection of sports, politics, and public sentiment in New York City.
