"For the cover of the November 17, 2025, issue, the artist Edel Rodriguez chose to portray Zohran Mamdani, New York City's incoming mayor, in the subway."
""Mamdani spent much of his campaign out and about in the city-visiting bodegas, riding with taxi-drivers, asking questions, dancing, and laughing," said Rodriguez. "He showed everyone he came across that he is one of them.""
