He’s been in broadcast journalism for more than 25 years. He joined Maria Hinojosa to talk about how his upbringing in Miami as the son of Cuban refugees shaped the journalist he is today, why he believes in being “down the middle,” and how he envisions his new role at NBC covering the second Trump administration.
