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.

    I did not expect him to give Mamdani an endorsement at all, much less this soon after losing the primary.

    Florida is the closest thing we have to hell in the U.S. and it is where he belongs.

    Man, what is going on in New York City? The current mayor has been proven totally corrupt and working against the people (and some fucking crazy how he is STILL mayor?!)

    And now this guy… Who the fuck is this guy?

    I thought Newsom (CA governor) was bad here in California (he is), but man… I hope Mamdani wins. New York deserves better.

      Adams cut a deal with the federal govt: he agreed to drop the NYC govt’s weaksauce resistance to immigration raids, in return the US attorney general applied a shittonne of pressure to make the corruption investigation into him go away. Straight-up corruption.

    “I would rather a conservative hellhole like Florida than a state that gives mild concessions to the people”…I’m sure that resonates with new Yorkers.

    People reading it like a contingency plan, but the “God forbid” makes me read it like Florida is the worst place in the world to Cuomo and he’s using it as hyperbole for how bad NYC will become. I don’t know if he meant it that way, of course, but I like the idea of using Florida as my benchmark insult.

    That said, I totally agree that when Mamdami wins, Cuomo should be exiled to Florida as punishment-- he belongs there with all the other sex pests.

    I’m just going to pack my weird nipples and go to Florida. Maybe, I’ll kill some elderly ladies using my skills at sexual harassment.
