Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is predicting property values in Palm Beach will “skyrocket” if Democratic socialist nominee Zohran Mamdani wins the mayor’s race in New York City this November.
Mamdani, a Ugandan immigrant and member of the Democratic Socialists of America, won the Democratic Party’s nomination for New York City mayor on Tuesday night. Running a campaign in which he promised a slew of free services, Mamdani defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who was highly favored to win. His victory has caused alarm among both Republicans and Democrats, with some predicting a Mamdani administration would lead to a mass exodus from America’s largest city.
“Just when you thought Palm Beach real estate couldn’t go any higher…” DeSantis said on X in response to Mamdani taking the lead over Cuomo, a quip playing off south Florida as a long-favored relocation destination for New Yorkers.
Speaking shortly before the primary election on Tuesday, DeSantis said, “if this socialist mayor candidate wins in New York City, you’re going to see real estate values skyrocket in Palm Beach because people are going to get out of that city.”
