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

hey i want to be your mayor but ill just fuken leave the whole state if that other guy wins
What a dedicated and loyal representative of the people!
I love this place so much, except if I lose then I hate it
whats with these people and thinking we care if they leave?
like wtf does this person even add to your life in ny?
...sounds like he's campaigning for even more folks to vote for mamdani...
That mentality is exactly what makes him so unfit for the job
Good election propaganda too. "If my opponent loses, he has so little faith in NYC that he'll leave" or somethjng
New Yorkers right now: Don’t threaten me with a good time!
That would be a win-win for New York.
And a drop in the bucket for Florida.
"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.
It may explain why some New Yorkers retire to the South.
Florida is the closest thing we have to hell in the U.S. and it is where he belongs.
I dunno, we also have Ohio and Utah
What’s wrong with us in Ohio?
Good get the fuck out
Really? The most Republican, conservative, shit-holeiest state of them all? Fine, go be with your true people.
I'm Zohran Mamdani and I approve this message.
Is this a promise? Can we hold him to it? Not that Florida wants him either...
I hereby sign the executive order that the US shall have a "Good times threat act"
whereby any politician threatening it's majority voters with a good time if their candidate gets elected,
will face criminal charges if the politician in question does not follow through his or her threat.
If you are going to prosecute politicians for not following through on promises, you are going to have an awful lot of work ahead of you...
Someone should put in a law that if a politician is going to threaten to move somewhere if X happens,
and X happens, then by law s/he is exiled to that place.
Oh no. Anyway...
Don't threaten me with a good time
Stop, stop. I can only be so excited.
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.
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.
Florida can have him
kthxbye
Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
What about Adam’s or Sliwa? Cuomo thinks less of the democratic candidate than he does of republican candidate or the guy who’s gotten caught taking bribes and is now a trump suck-up to avoid being prosecuted.
So what happens if incumbent Mayor Eric Adams is ahead in the polls and is a stronger candidate?
"I don't want to be part of a suicide mission," Cuomo said. "If Adams is a stronger candidate, I'm not going to be a spoiler and I'll defer. I'm not going to be a reason that this assemblyman became mayor of the city of New York."
So if Cuomo is ahead of Adams, will he ask Adams not to go on that "suicide mission?"
"I think everybody will say that to Eric Adams, because everybody is going to make your point, which is look at the math, right? You divide up the vote, you're just making Mamdani the candidate and the mayor," Cuomo said.

Luckily Adams doesn't seem interested.
"We should never forget that these same polls had Andrew up 32 points, and he lost embarrassingly by 12 points. This is a campaign about results, not resumes. And on that, Mayor Adams wins," Adams spokesperson Todd Shapiro said.
What a true new Yorker 🏙️
The equivalent..."If I don't win then fuck all of you! I'm taking my toys and going elsewhere!!"
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.
The Matt Gaetz Sexual Predator Welcoming Committee is waiting with open arms and will give Cuomo a big hug on arrival.
Don't all New Yorkers come down here eventually? NJ too. The influx of conservative northerners is a big part of the mess we are in.
Sounds like it's not all of the if the more liberal people stay because they can handle the idea of taxes, tolls, higher population density, snow, winter, cultural diversity, and funding public school systems
The ones who are liberal while they're working and raising kids, then conservative when laws benefit someone other than themselves move.
We are in a very diverse city here, no matter what axis you spin it on, and not really conservative, it's not any kind of monoculture in Florida. Spot on about taxes, though I'm sure they aren't that much lower in reality, people move here thinking they are, then get hit with the sales tax, property tax, car insurance and property insurance.
Not my vote to make, but I'd almost hope to see Zoran becomes mayor, just to see if he's true to his word. But too many examples of how electing someone/something for the wrong reason back fires.
So instead Let's just hope they make te right choice.
that's one way to get support from meatball ron
He's gonna move out of a state where there is a bridge named after his dad? I doubt it. Call his bluff....
Buh bye idiotic creep
Don't make promises you don't intend to keep. We learn that as children, did you not get raised by humans?
Seriously? Cats ima tidis?
