Desantis has a response of 5 words to Cuomo’s joke on the move to Florida

Florida governor Ron Desantis had a special request for New York town hall candidate Andrew Cuomo after the former Democratic governor joked by saying that he would move to the state of Sunshine if he lost against the socialist Zohran Mamdani.

Cuomo’s joke seemed to revive alarms for many of those who went to social networks to express their disgust for the idea. Desantis, a Republican, was one of those who expressed their concern in response to an article on Cuomo considering a change of decor if he was again defeated by Mamdani.

“Do not New York our Florida!” Desantis posted on X.

Desantis predicted that the values of the properties in Palm Beach “soar” New Yorkers moving if the socialist Democratic candidate Mamdani won the mayor’s race in New York in November. Speaking shortly before the June primary elections, Desantis said: “If this candidate for the socialist mayor wins in new YorkYou will see the real estate values soar in Palm Beach because people will get out of this city. “”

Cuomo seemed to joke on Saturday when he said he was moving to Florida.

The former governor of New York lost against Mamdani in the Democratic primary, but plans to challenge him as independent in the general elections. The line, delivered during a Hampton breakfast with political initiates, triggered laughter but also highlighted an increasing discomfort in the political direction of the city.

“It’s all or nothing. We win or even move to Florida. God does not like it,” said Cuomo, according to the participants during the event.

The remark occurred during a private rally organized by the businessman John Catsimatidis at the 75 -hand in Southampton. Catsimatidis, donor of the GOP and radio host, is also the owner of the Gristedes and Agostino supermarket channels, which could be directly affected by Mamdani’s proposal to create grocery stores managed by the government.

The guest list included the ambassador George Tsunis and the former best assistant in Cuomo Melissa Derosa. A participant described the line as a “wow” moment. Several guests said it had attracted the attention of the play.

Cuomo’s main advisor, Rich Azzopardi, defended the comment at New York Post.

“Governor Cuomo would never give up in New York,” he said. “The line highlighted the challenges of this election and the risk of electing a 33 -year -old socialist dangerously inexperienced and hateful to lead the city.”
