Sore Loser Andrew Cuomo Threatens To Move To Florida If Mamdani Beats Him Again

Perfect for Florida

Paul LePage (R-ME) was one of the most unpopular governors in America and only won election and reelection with pluralities, respectively with 37% and 48%. When he left office he bought a house in Ormond Beach, moved there and registered to vote there. He returned to Maine to run for governor again in 2022 and was badly beaten by Democrat Janet Mills, 373,372 (55.7%) to 286,440 (42.5%). During that campaign, Maine Democrats highlighted the hypocrisy of LePage claiming a Florida homestead tax exemption for himself, while as governor he had opposed or limited similar property tax relief for Mainers. Now he’s back in Maine running for Congress against unpopular Blue Dog Jared Golden.

Meanwhile, another ex-gubernatorial scumbag, Andrew Cuomo was hobnobbing with his wealthy supporters at a fundraiser thrown by GOP billionaire John Castimatidis in the Hamptons yesterday. In a temper tantrum, he said he would move to Florida if he loses his race for mayor to Zohran Mamdani again. The 3rd party in the race, current Mayor Eric Adams, never one to miss a cheap shot, said that Cuomo spends more time in The Hamptons than in the five boroughs and that he should follow through with his threat to move to Florida. Cuomo is trying to worm out of it by claiming he was just joking.

Cuomo saved plenty of ammo for Mayor Adams, another Dem seeking re-election as an independent.

He claimed the Big Apple hasn’t had “a competent mayor” since Michael Bloomberg left office at the end 2013 and that Adams “could not focus” for much of his three-plus years on the job because of a now-closed federal corruption probe and other controversies.

The city “feels out of control,” Cuomo said.

LePage and Cuomo represent two sides of the same broken coin: politicians who see elected office not as a form of public service, but as a personal brand extension. They’re not committed to place— they’re committed to power. When the votes turn against them, they retreat to their tax shelters in Florida or their billionaire donor retreats in the Hamptons. These men don’t love their states or their cities. They love leverage. And the moment the voters threaten to take it away, they start packing boxes. Their contempt for the people they once governed is barely disguised and the people deserve better than these fair-weather frauds.

Mamdani, by contrast, is exactly the kind of leader cities like New York desperately need: rooted, visionary and unbought. As a tenant organizer, transit activist and state legislator, Mamdani has consistently stood with working-class New Yorkers, not the donor class in the Hamptons or the luxury co-op boards of the Upper East Side. He brings an unapologetically bold agenda focused on affordable housing, public transit, climate resilience and economic justice. He doesn’t treat the mayoralty as a personal comeback tour or a billionaire plaything; for him, it's an opportunity to build a city where everyday people— not developers, not donors, not party machines— can actually thrive. No wonder Cuomo would rather run than live under a government that finally puts people first.
