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.

2/3rds of NYC:

"Promise?"

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 63 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Just what you like to hear in a mayoral candidate. He cares so little about the city he is going to leave if he doesn't win, like a spoiled brat.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

honestly I'd get this in writing, NYC.... don't just take him at his word, formalize that shit then enforce it when it comes to

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 week ago

He said even if he did win, that he knew his first trip would be to Israel, so seems like regardless, his priorities are always outside the city

[–] TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Well, you see, he was the governor... one of the priorities while being the governor of New York State is to hate New York City.

What is it with Florida that attracts all the dirtbags?

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

At this point my guess is other dirtbags

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?

[–] frazw@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 39 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Cuomo is apparenty campaining for Mamdani now

[–] ghostlychonk@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

I was gonna say, this seems like a fantastic reason to vote for Mamdani.

[–] nkat2112@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

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

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

"This message is approved by Zohran Mamdani."

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

[–] EndlessApollo@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

Please do it preemptively 💞

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Going to pray at the orange altar I see

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 16 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] AFaithfulNihilist@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Like we needed another reason to vote for him.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Low key conservative. Got it.

[–] TrueStoryBob@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

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

[–] scroll_responsibly 12 points 1 week ago

You promise?

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 week ago

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

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago
[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

What jurisdiction does he think he's escaping?

Bye Felicia.
