DeSantis Predicts NY Exodus to Florida Post-Mamdani Election

All Episodes

November 6, 2025 • 1 min

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis anticipates a surge of New Yorkers moving south following Zohran Mamdanis election as mayor. Mamdani, a self-proclaimed Democratic socialist, won over former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa, marking a potential shift towards liberalism in New York City. DeSantis, who once faced a Democratic advantage in Florida, now sees a Republican lead of 1.4 million due to incoming residents. He proposed responses to a Mamdani win, including a Florida border wall, taxing new transplants, or actively recruiting them. A poll suggests nine percent of New Yorkers would leave the city if Mamdani were elected, potentially translating to 765,000 people.
