Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Saturday he’ll pack his bags and flee to Florida if he loses the NYC mayoral race to socialist Zohran Mamdani.

“It’s all or nothing. We either win or even I will move to Florida. God forbid!” Cuomo told business leaders and other honchos at a Hamptons breakfast hosted by supermarket mogul John Catsimatidis.

What is it with Florida that attracts all the dirtbags?

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 23 points 8 months ago

At this point my guess is other dirtbags

Tax cuts and Miami

Considering he's had something like a dozen speeding tickets in school zones, it will legit make NYC kids safer if he dd.

Double win for NYers?

So move to Florida then. Why is that worthy of reporting?

Cuomo is apparenty campaining for Mamdani now

Have my up-vote, OP. That was golden.

Please do it preemptively 💞

"This message is approved by Zohran Mamdani."

Seems like Cuomo saying this will only help Mamdani's campaign.

Well he's retirement aged anyways, so that's to be expected.

Like we needed another reason to vote for him.

Going to pray at the orange altar I see

What a fucking child. Sure, dude. A state where the politics revolve around making sure the "wrong Americans" disappear is absolutely on the same level as being a socialist mayor of NYC.

Least fascist and most reasonable politician over here.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Low key conservative. Got it.

[–] scroll_responsibly@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 8 months ago

You promise?

[–] TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Oh god... and Floridians are just dumb enough to vote him into statewide office.

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 12 points 8 months ago

The stakes just got even higher, we could even force Cuomo down to Florida with the win now

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 9 points 8 months ago

Why should he care, he doesn't even live there.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

What jurisdiction does he think he's escaping?

Bye Felicia.

you know, we can also space you if you wanna get really far away?
