Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) threatened he would “move to Florida” if socialist New York City (NYC) mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the election.
During a Hamptons breakfast on Saturday, Cuomo, who is running as an independent in NYC’s mayoral race, expressed that it was “all or nothing” in the NYC mayoral race, according to the New York Post. The breakfast was hosted at 75 Main, in Southampton.
“It’s all or nothing,” Cuomo stated. “We either win or even I will move to Florida. God forbid!”
During the event, Cuomo “took plenty of shots at Mamdani’s pie-in-the-sky proposals to freeze rents on stabilized apartments,” according to the outlet:
The governor took plenty of shots at Mamdani’s pie-in-the-sky proposals to freeze rents on stabilized apartments, calling it a “death sentence” for the housing market because it would likely lead to many landlords spending less money maintaining properties.
Rich Azzopardi, a spokesman for Cuomo, told the outlet that he was joking when he said he would move to Florida if Mamdani won, adding that Cuomo “would never give up on New York.”
“Governor Cuomo would never give up on New York,” Azzopardi explained. “That said, the line underscored the stakes in the upcoming election and the risk of electing a dangerously inexperienced, hate-spewing 33-year-old socialist whose campaign consists of unrealistic bumper sticker slogans.”

Why would he move there? What did Florida ever do to Cuomo?
No, no, no, Florida does not want Cuomo. Try California instead.
New York not sending their best. To paraphrase a great man.
Yes. Wonder why he didn’t threaten that state instead.
If Mamdani wins, it will be because of Cuomo.
Wonder how many of them who own residential property in NYS are cheating on their STAR application...
Cuomo should be careful at those political breakfeasts. There is more than pulp in the OJ. The truth on occaion comes out. He just scuttled his campaign.
“We either win or even I will move to Florida.”
By far, this is Mamdani’s biggest endorsement.
The state paid $450,000 to settle a woman’s groping allegation against Cuomo.
Andrew Cuomo has no chance.
We don’t want him.
“STAR application”
New Yorkers have traditionally preferred the Miami>Palm Beach area of Florida.
By April, New York is more comfortable.
Actually Florida has become blood red since northerners came down. You forgot how blue Florida was in the 90’s.
Florida needs border control!
Already too many immigrants from blue states. Need to screen those escaping from blue politics from those seeking to transplant it.
Why not move to New Jersey? Many Italians live there.
HE WILL BE LEADING A PARADE....
MAMDANI IS NOT A GOOD MAYOR FOR ANY CITY...
Government in Ney York State has plenty of jobs that pay well that don’t require a great amount of work or involve a great deal of stress.

I’m looking for a sinecure.

He is trying to get the snow birds that vote in both places to vote for him
